Displaying properties of a fix or fix group

To display the information about your i5/OS^® fixes and fix groups, follow these procedures using iSeries™ Navigator.

Information similar to what you see when you use the command interface is shown in iSeries Navigator. For example, several properties pages exist to provide you with information about fixes similar to what is shown when you use the Display PTF (DSPPTF) command. You can view the fix ID, the associated product and release, the status, and whether or not a cover letter or save file exists on the system. In addition, you are shown any requisite fixes or dependent fixes. Finally, you can see the objects that are contained in the fix and the name of the library in which the objects reside after you install the fix.

The same is true when you view the properties for a fix group. For example, several properties pages exist to provide you with information about fix groups similar to what is shown when you use the Work with PTF Groups (WRKPTFGRP) command. You see the name of the fix group, its description, and status. You are also shown a list of all the related fix groups.
