|
<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Cumulative program temporary fix (PTF)
|
||
|
|
packages contain fixes for a given release of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
|
||
|
|
system. The fixes contained in a cumulative PTF package are for the <span class="keyword">Licensed Internal Code</span> and most licensed programs
|
||
|
|
that can be installed on that operating system release.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As the name implies, each package is cumulative; that is, it contains all
|
||
|
|
of the fixes from the previous package plus additional fixes released since
|
||
|
|
the previous package. Many, but not all, new fixes are included in cumulative
|
||
|
|
packages. The fixes that are not included are typically applicable only to
|
||
|
|
a specific user's situation or application. These fixes are not included for
|
||
|
|
general availability to avoid introducing unwanted change and potential programming
|
||
|
|
errors into a cumulative package where code quality has the highest priority.
|
||
|
|
When you order the cumulative PTF package, you also receive the most recent
|
||
|
|
database PTF group and the HIPER PTF group.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>How often a cumulative package is available depends on the stage of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> release life cycle. During
|
||
|
|
the first six months or so of general availability for a new release, a cumulative
|
||
|
|
package can be available as often as every four to six weeks. After that time,
|
||
|
|
cumulative packages are scheduled on a quarterly basis. After the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> release has been available
|
||
|
|
for a period of time, the frequency might decrease again. The frequency of
|
||
|
|
availability depends on the number of new fixes to be added to the package.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />You should install cumulative PTF packages quarterly in dynamic
|
||
|
|
environments and less frequently in stable ones. Also consider installing
|
||
|
|
cumulative fix packages before making major hardware or software changes to
|
||
|
|
your environment.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
