If you are upgrading to IBM i 7.2, please load the following         
PTFs, and then follow the directions in SAP note 2011710,            
especially noting the pre-requisite kernel patch levels.             
                                                                     
When installing additional 5770-SS1 options or other Licensed        
Program Products(LPPs), reload and reapply group and cumulative      
PTFs.                                                                
                                                                     
To order the most recent cumulative or group, request the            
SFxxxxx number shown below.  CL command WRKPTFGRP displays the       
current level and status of cumulative and Group PTFs that are       
installed on the partition.  CL command DSPPTF displays, by LPP,     
the individual PTFs have been installed on this partition.           
Also keep in mind, that the HIPER GROUP is much more important,      
than the Cumulative package.                                         
As HIPER PTFs are High Impact Pervasive PTFs |||

DRIVER INFORMATION FOR SAP JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS                   
                                                                     
A Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver is required for SAP       
workloads that are based on Java.  There are different options       
available to you and your choice will depend on several factors.     
See SAP note 654800 to determine which driver will meet your         
requirements.  The notes will also indicate from where you may       
obtain that driver and in which IFS directory it should be           
placed.                                                              
                                                                     
In IBM i 7.2, the IBM Toolbox for Java LPP is shipped as part of     
5770-SS1 (option 3) - Extended Base Directory Support and the        
latest version will be included in the PTF lists for SS1 above.      
If you are upgrading from an older IBM i release, the LPP            
5761-JC1 should be removed.                                          
                                                                     
If you are using the JTOpen toolbox driver, the latest version is    
the recommended version.  It can be obtained from following the links
at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/toolbox/downloads.html
