Your system may require installation of IBM PTF’s to ensure proper operation of the ACO products. Several important IBM PTF’s are required to properly run certain SQL statements based on the installed version of IBM i 6.1 (and i5/OS). These PTF’s are included in the latest version of the database group PTF for each respective release.

We STRONGLY recommend that you put in place a process to regularly obtain (and apply) the latest cumulative PTF, HIPER group PTF, and database group PTF packages to your System i (and AS/400) system(s).
