<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A single fix is tested by IBM and is made available to all IBM<sup>®</sup> customers.
|
||
|
|
Single fixes are capable of being downloaded with electronic customer support
|
||
|
|
or from the Internet and might also be available on media. Single fixes can
|
||
|
|
identify other single fixes as prerequisite, corequisite, or distribution
|

requisite fixes. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>

<dd><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A <dfn class="term">HIPER (High Impact PERvasive) PTF</dfn> resolves
|
||
|
|
a problem that might have a high impact on <span class="keyword">IBM i5/OS™</span> operations
|
||
|
|
or a pervasive problem that affects most iSeries™ servers.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>HIPER PTFs correct
|
||
|
|
severe problems that occur on your system. HIPER PTFs represent two types
|
||
|
|
of problems: <em>high impact or pervasive</em> and <em>high impact and pervasive</em>.
|
||
|
|
Examples of these situations include the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Your system might crash or hang and require a restart or IPL (initial
|
||
|
|
program load) to recover.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your system might be stuck in a looping condition.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your system's data integrity might be threatened.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your system may experience a severe performance degradation, or the problem
|
||
|
|
involves usability of a product's major function.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If any of the fixes are needed to address these situations
|
||
|
|
for your system, order and install the HIPER fixes. To help you manage HIPER
|
||
|
|
fixes, IBM maintains a HIPER PTF group that contains a list of all current
|
||
|
|
HIPER fixes for each supported <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> release.
|
||
|
|
For a complete listing of HIPER fixes, see the preventive service planning
