We somehow dodged the bullet here. We're on Level 17 (installed yesterday), but >Level 16 shows as having been installed as well. Does anyone know what would cause >some servers to not have a problem, and others to experience this?

More details on the issue can be found at https://www.itjungle.com/2019/12/02/db2->for-ibm-i-7-3-hits-a-bad-patch/, but it doesn't get into the details of why some >systems can run Level 16 without a problem.

We, too, have either dodged a bullet or we're living on borrowed time. Installed lvl 16 last Friday morning (with CUME & Groups) and the system (8202-E4D) is humming along.

I'm scheduling an out-of-cycle apply for lvl 17 this weekend, hopefully allowing me to sleep better.
