RE: Will PTF number size increase?

The search function on this page (www*ibm*com/mysupport/s/product-defect-list?language=en_US&productid=01t500000051Jh7AAE) seems wonky. Selecting version 7.4.0 seems to omit most of the 7.4 issues and fixes.

I'm new to my admin role, so I'm still picking up on this topic. Others on my team that have been doing this for a while now have found that researching HIPERs has "changed" since IBM changed things last month. What is everyone using to find and research HIPERs?

IBM has adopted a new PTF numbering scheme.
FI = Fix Information. For example FI0018206 has the legacy number of
MF99404
BTW, IBM also lists fixes which aren't ripe yet. These will have a status of Open.

Document DT307097 is for APAR MA50521

You cannot use the new scheme on SNDPTFORD.

I like to search for "LIC BASE FUNCTION TO ENABLE TECHNOLOGY REFRESH" at "Known issues and Fix Information" at
www*ibm*com/mysupport/s/product-defect-list?language=en_US&productid=01t500000051Jh7AAE

This new page removed the thumbs down or thumbs up and also removed any feedback icon. They did add the usual useless virtual assistant chat box.
I went to the old page to submit feed back on the new. Namely, if you try to search for 7.5.0 you will get no hits as IBM records them as 750. Just select All versions for now until they get that resolved.
I was really interested to see how much info I could find on Known Issues for 750 with a status of Open. Until they get that version bug fixed I could not.
