Determining the proper cumulative PTF level

 

WebSphere Application Server for i5/OS was tested with a specific cumulative PTF package. Ensure that you have the same cumulative PTF package or newer applied to your system before using WebSphere Application Server for i5/OS.

Check the cumulative PTF package level applied to your system. If it is not at the minimum required level, order and apply the currently available cumulative PTF package.

 

Overview

Perform this task to gather the needed information about the cumulative PTF level applied to your system.

 

Procedure

  1. Determine the prerequisite cumulative PTF package level for the version of WebSphere Application Server that you plan to install.

    1. Go to the PTF page.

    2. Under WebSphere PTF information, click the release level for your operating system.

    3. Click the Cumulative Package link to see the minimum cumulative PTF package that is required.

  2. Determine if the correct operating system cumulative PTF package is installed on your server.

    1. Sign onto your server.

    2. Enter the Display PTF Status (DSPPTF) command on a CL command line. The Display PTF Status screen is displayed. This screen lists the PTFs that are applied to the server. The following example shows the Display PTF status screen: 
                                    Display PTF Status
                                                             System: your.server
