Fix status information

 

The status of a PTF or fix indicates the activity of that PTF or fix within an i5/OS^® product.

This topic shows you the descriptions of the statuses for fixes on your system, both from the perspective of iSeries™ Navigator and the Display PTF (DSPPTF) command.

To help you decide whether to use the iSeries Navigator interface or the command interface to work with your fixes, go to Determining which interface to use.

• Fix status descriptions using iSeries Navigator
  iSeries Navigator provides a fix management function through Management Central to view the fix statuses.

• Fix status descriptions using the command interface
  The Display PTF (DSPPTF) command shows i5/OS fix status descriptions.

• Fix order status
  You might have an occasion to report a hardware or software problem, which can result in an i5/OS PTF being created to fix your problem. With the Work with Problem (WRKPRB) command, you can track the status of your problem.
