So are all the group and other PTFs available that make up the TR, V7R4 or V7R3, since there will not actually be a TR.

When you download these PTFs don't blink, they come down fast. About 15 seconds for all three versions, with the change directory commands in the middle of the FTP.

For a great reference read Steve Will's Blog posted today:

https://ibmsystemsmag.com/Power-Systems/05/2020/confusion-about-tr

To paraphrase "Yes we released the function but didn't need a TR Group update to deliver it."

The base TR PTF SF99302 is in the latest HIPER (level 23) as well as the latest group PTF for Db2 Mirror. The majority of the new function is in the latest Database Group (Level 7).

New functions provided in ACS and RDi and such require those products to be updated using supported update methods for those products.

The ability to virtualize tape libraries from IBM i host to IBM i guests is also provided but not in any group PTF that I could find. The PTF
SI73220 if ordered will pull down the needed prerequisite PTFs for i 7.4.

SI73219 for i 7.3
SI73218 for i 7.2
