Abstract

SAP SUPPORT REQUIRED PTF LIST FOR IBM i 7.3

Content

If you are upgrading to IBM i 7.3, load the following PTFs, and then follow the directions in SAP note 2299407, especially noting the prerequisite kernel patch levels.
When you install more 5770-SS1 options or other licensed program products(LPPs), reload and reapply group and cumulative PTFs.
                                                                     
To order the most recent cumulative or group, request the SFxxxxx number shown in the table.  CL command WRKPTFGRP displays the current level and status of cumulative and Group PTFs, installed on the partition.  CL command DSPPTF displays, by LPP, the individual PTFs installed on this partition. Also, keep in mind that the HIPER GROUP is much more important, than the Cumulative package. HIPER PTFs are High Impact Pervasive PTFs and will be updated almost every week!!!

When running on IBM i 7.3, the SAP code is using the function QSYS2.PTF_INFO to decide which CDS-related database features are already available on the current system. With the current PTFs applied, this may fail with messages:

BY2 Database: Database error -443 at EXE
BY0 Database: > SQL0443 (SQLSTATE 42501) - Routine Error on QDBSSUDF2: NOT
BY0 Database: > AUTHORIZED TO USE QSYS/DSPPTF (<nnnnnn>/<sid>ADM/WP<nn>)

If you see this error or as preventive measure, you can grant the necessary authority to the SAP user profiles, for example with the command:

GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/DSPPTF) OBJTYPE(*CMD) USER(R3GROUP) AUT(*USE)
