On November 13th, 2020, IBM i 7.4 TR3 was released along with Db2 for i PTF Group SF99704 Level 10, as well as IBM i 7.3 TR 9 along with Db2 for i PTF Group SF99703 Level 22. You can get a quick overview over the enhancements for IBM i 7.4 at https://www.ibm.com/ibmi/techupdates/i74-TR3 and for IBM i 7.3 at https://www.ibm.com/ibmi/techupdates/i73-TR9. A general entry point for the various Technology Refreshes with their enhancements can be found at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1119129/.

The SAP Support Required PTF Lists, formerly known as Information APARs, have been updated to include these new levels. Together with the Technology Refreshes and the Db2 for i PTF groups, the cumulative PTF packages and the High Impact/Pervasive PTF groups were updated. The PTF lists can be found at the following links:

IBM i 7.2: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10883472

IBM i 7.4: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10883450


We recommend that you apply the current PTF levels for preventive maintenance whenever you are performing your next scheduled maintenance.
