<h1 class="topictitle1">Where to find information about fixes</h1>
<div><p>Stay informed about fixes: which ones are available to you, what
particular fixes can do in your environment, and which fixes may not be necessary
for you. Use this information to find out where you can get the latest updates
about fixes.</p>
<p>As a system administrator, one of your responsibilities is to maintain
your <span class="keyword">IBM<sup>®</sup> i5/OS™</span> server. Part
of that task involves knowing where to find information about fixes. You need
to find out if there are any special instructions that relate to installing
your fixes. You can avoid problems if you follow a fix maintenance strategy. </p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixsummlist.htm">Fix summary lists</a></strong><br />
IBM service
sends you only the fix that you ordered. If that fix is superseded by another
fix, you need to know which superseded fix to order. Use the Fix summary list
to make that identification.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixcrossrefsummlist.htm">Fix cross-reference summary lists</a></strong><br />
Use this summary list to make sure you order any fixes for the new release that you had at the previous release.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixpsp.htm">Preventive service planning information</a></strong><br />
<span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Preventive service planning (PSP) information contains
the latest information that is applicable to your hardware or software. PSP
information should be reviewed before you install a licensed program, a cumulative
PTF package, or hardware. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam8fixapar.htm">Authorized program analysis reports</a></strong><br />
Authorized program analysis reports (APARs) are used to find out what problems have been identified that could result in potential problems. You can view APARs by component, by release, or see the full list.</li>
