Subject: Y2K PTF Apply Failure


I have just loaded the two Y2K CDs to my V4R3 system and have run into an
error.

I had one PTF that showed up in the History Log as:
PTF 5763JC1-SF54399 not applied.            
Applying of PTFs failed for product 5763JC1.

Upon further investigation I found the following:
Message ID . . . . . . :   CPF35CF       Severity . . . . . . . :   30

 Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic

 Date sent  . . . . . . :   12/19/99      Time sent  . . . . . . :
09:15:44 
 Message . . . . :   PTF 5763JC1-SF54399 not applied.

 Cause . . . . . :   The exit program failed and the back out failed. The

   program temporary fix (PTF) status is set to damaged.

 Recovery  . . . :   Refer to previously listed messages. After the exit

   program problem has been resolved, load and apply the damaged PTF again.


Looking at the installed licensed program screen, I find:
5763JC1                 *ERROR          AS/400 Toolbox for Java

We do not use Java on this machine.  Is this something that I need to be
concerned about?  The PTF is listed in the Display PTF Status screen as:
        PTF                                                             IPL

Opt     ID              Status                                      Action 
        SF54399         Damaged                                  Yes    

What needs to be done to correct this situation?  This was the only error
encountered.
