SAP on IBM i: SAP Support Required PTF Lists have been updated
By the end of March 2023, the SAP Support Required PTF Lists, formerly known as Information APARs, have been updated with the latest High Impact/Pervasive PTF groups, Db2 for i PTF groups, and some individual PTFs that were found to be useful in an SAP environment.
The PTF lists can be found at the following links:

We recommend that you apply the current PTF levels for preventive maintenance whenever you are performing your next scheduled maintenance. The next update of the PTF lists is planned for May 2023.
