Preventive service planning information
Preventive service planning (PSP) information contains the latest information that is applicable to your hardware or software. PSP information should be reviewed before you install an i5/OS® licensed program, a cumulative PTF package, or hardware.
Effective use of PSP information is an important element of your fix management strategy. PSP information is provided by the IBM® software support center for you to use when installing a licensed program, cumulative PTF packages, or hardware. You should review this information before you do any software installations to stay informed about potential conditions that could impede your software installation process. You can also use the PSP information to order preventive service planning information and review the recommended High Impact PERvasive (HIPER) fixes periodically or you can order the HIPER PTF group. The HIPER PTF group is updated every other week. Be sure to use the most recent edition of the PSP information as the IBM software support center provides frequent updates.
To print PSP information that you have ordered and downloaded to your system, use the instructions in Displaying and printing fix cover letters. The PSP information is placed in QAPZCOVER when it is sent to you.
