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.
- ping www.ibm.com - to determine the IP address servicing your geography
- 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
