This page contains instructions for and provides access to cumulative PTF packages for our products. In addition, it lists IBM® PTFs known to be relevant to our products.
You install these cumulative PTF packages from your PC using FTP. Download the self extracting zip file for your product and release by right clicking the .exe and selecting "Save Link As…" (Firefox) or "Save Target As…" (Internet Explorer). Save the .exe into a temporary directory. Unzip the file by double clicking it from Explorer or by choosing Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt, changing to the temporary directory and typing the file name. Then, see the "readme" file for step by step installation instructions. Our PTFs do not require that your system be in a restricted state to apply them and do not require that IBM® i be restarted. Jobs that are using the software will not see the effects of the changes until they are ended and restarted.
If you are not sure which release of a product you have, run the Display Program Temporary Fix (DSPPTF) command. For example, run DSPPTF 2A55RDA to determine which Report Designer release is installed. The fifth line of the display shows the "Release of base option" which is your release. PTF packages are specific to a release and can not change the release of a product. To upgrade to a newer release, you must download and install it.

| SI24461 | SMTP filter rules corrupt file name, TCP5101 in QMSF job log. See PTF for pre/co-requisites. | ||
| II13869 | The following is from informational APAR II13869 5722SS100 5722TC100
r530: V5R3 has a new IFS directory attribute "Restricted rename
and unlink". If this is set to *YES QMSF can fail with TCP5104
Integrated File System file unlink failed" for /tmp on QtmmSendMail
users. The default value for the new attribute is *NO on the CRTDIR
(MD) command. However, we set the attribute for *YES when we have to
create it, such as on scratch installs or some other instance where
the directory has been deleted. Slip installs should not be affected,
provided slipping the GA resave. Once the attribute is set, it will
remain set. This is compatible with UNIX implementations and is documented
in the Memo-To-Users If the attribute is set to *YES and is causing
QMSF to fail, change it to *NO using the CHGATR command: CHGATR OBJ('/tmp') ATR(*RSTDRNMUNL) VALUE(*NO) |
