Restoring program temporary fixes (PTFs)

If you have restored the Licensed Internal Code or the operating system, you need to ensure that the PTFs on your system are current.

  1. Print a list of all the PTFs currently on the system.
    Type the following command and press the Enter key:
    
    DSPPTF LICPGM(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
  2. Compare this list of PTFs with the list you printed when you saved the system.
    If the lists are the same, return to your recovery checklist. If PTFs are missing from the list you printed in step 1, you must apply them. Continue with the next step.
  3. Find the most recent cumulative program temporary fix media.
    This package might be on distribution media or on a stand-alone media volume.
    Note: If you do not have the PTFs you need, order them and apply them later. Continue with your recovery checklist.
  4. You can use option 8 (Install program temporary fix package) on the Program Temporary Fix menu.
    All of the PTFs in the cumulative PTF package will be installed for the licensed programs you have installed on your system. Refer to the IBM® i System PTF Shipping Information Letter for special instructions that are required.
