PTF requirements

After the required software has been installed on the server, the latest available fixes should also be loaded and applied.

Cumulative PTF package

You should install the currently available cumulative PTF package for the i5/OS™ version you are running before installing any other fixes. You must install the latest i5/OS cumulative PTF package before installing the group PTF for WebSphere® Application Server, WebSphere Portal, or ASF Tomcat.

WebSphere Application Server

WebSphere PTFs are delivered as group PTFs. These group PTFs contain all the fixes required, across different software products, to bring WebSphere up to a specific fix level. To obtain the correct PTFs, refer to the WebSphere application Server PTFs Web page then select your version of operating system and WebSphere.

WebSphere Portal - Express for iSeries™ V5.0.2

iSeries Access for Web requires a minimum fix level of 5.0.2.2 for WebSphere Portal - Express for iSeries. To access fix information, refer to the WebSphere Portal on iSeries Support page.

ASF Tomcat and HTTP Server for iSeries

The ASF Tomcat Web application server is part of the IBM® HTTP Server for iSeries licensed program. ASF Tomcat PTFs are delivered within the IBM HTTP Server for iSeries Group PTFs. These Group PTFs contain all the fixes required to bring the HTTP Server up to a specific fix level. To obtain the correct Group PTFs, refer to the HTTP Server: PTFs and Support page, then follow the links appropriate for your version of operating system.
