Re: Applying TR5

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Garvey:

Just downloading and applying the Cumulative Fix, Hiper, and DB groups 
will NOT get you TR5.  You have to download and apply that group as 
well.  It is SF99707.

As a matter of course I always download and apply any/all of the group 
fixes that apply to my system.  A minimum list might look like:

SF99710               CUMULATIVE PTF PACKAGE C2279710
SF99709               GROUP HIPER
SF99708               GROUP SECURITY
SF99707               TECHNOLOGY REFRESH
SF99705               HARDWARE AND RELATED PTFS
SF99701               DB2 FOR IBM I
SF99627               7.1 ELECTRONIC SERVICES GROUP PTF
SF99572               JAVA
SF99368               IBM HTTP SERVER FOR I
SF99367               TCP/IP PTF
SF99366               PRINT PTFS
SF99362               BACKUP RECOVERY SOLUTIONS
SF99145               PERFORMANCE TOOLS

Add WAS and Query groups as needed.
