SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY/SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_DETAIL changes

The IBM® Preventative Service Planning (PSP) team has relocated the XML feeds that provide details about IBM i PTF Groups. Due to that transition, two popular IBM i Services (SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY and SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_DETAILS) have been rebuilt to use the new XML feeds. Once the previous XML feeds are disabled, queries to these services will fail with SQLCODE -4302 and SQLSTATE '38000'.

To avoid having a disruption in the use of these services, the following HIPER PTFs have been created to deliver the necessary changes to SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY and SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_DETAILS.
  • PTF '5770SS1 V7R1M0 SI62612'
  • PTF '5770SS1 V7R2M0 SI62620'
If TCP/IP was configured to enable access to the previous XML feed (129.42.160.32), the IP address corresponding to the new XML feed should be enabled. The new XML feed varies by geography.
  1. ping www.ibm.com - to determine the IP address servicing your geography
  2. Configure TCP/IP access to the IP address returned in step 1. See this technote for details on how to configure TCP/IP. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1018980
