Abstract
The DEFECTIVE_PTF_CURRENCY_LOCAL table function returns a list of defective PTFs on the system that do not have the corrective PTF applied. It uses an integrated file system (IFS) file that contains a downloaded version of the publicly available information in XML format.
For an IBM i that cannot connect to the internet to directly access the XML feed, use some other device to manually download the file from this URL, where the Rxx0 is the operating system release: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/services/us/igsc/has/Rxx0DEFECT.txt
For example, to access the information for IBM i 7.6 use this URL: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/services/us/igsc/has/R760DEFECT.txt
The local copy of the XML feed needs to be copied to the IBM i and located within the IFS. Once established in the IFS, DEFECTIVE_PTF_CURRENCY_LOCAL can be queried. The local copy of the XML feed will be compared to the PTF Group detail found on the current IBM i.
