IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 23, Number 46
November 17, 2021 Doug Bidwell
If you are on older releases of IBM i 7, you are getting a breather this week when it comes to PTF patches for your systems. There just ain’t a lot going on, and in the operating system and security world, you take that as a win. Those of you on the IBM i 7.4 release, you have a few things to think about but it is fairly straightforward and related to the Db2 for i database and for those of you who have it, the Db2 Mirror for i database clustering software.
Here is the rundown of PTF Groups by IBM i release level:
PTF Groups 7.4:
- DB2 for IBM i
- IBM Db2 Mirror for i
PTF Groups 7.3:
- The empty set
PTF Groups 7.2:
- A ghost rising a polar bear in a snowstorm
PTF Groups 7.1:
- A very big ghost riding a pair of polar bears as the polar vortex encloses the Arctic Circle
