Sending and installing fixes

Edit online

Use IBM Navigator for i to send your IBM i fixes to remote systems and install them.

You can distribute some or all of the fixes that you receive to a remote system with IBM Navigator for i. However, you must have the save files to distribute the fixes. If you receive PTFs on media, you can use the Install PTFs function available from IBM Navigator for i to install the save files for the fixes onto your source system. If you already installed the PTFs from media and the Copy PTFs (CPYPTF) service attribute was set to *YES, the save files have already been placed onto your system.
  1. Expand IBM i Management > Configuration and Service > Program Temporary Fixes > PTFs.
  2. Navigate through the PTF tree until you locate the option that contains the fixes you want to send and install.
  3. Click on this option and select fixes you want to send and install in the work console place.
  4. Select “Send...” or “Send and Install...” in Actions dropdown and follow the wizard’s instructions to send and install fixes.
