IBM Operating System V6R1

Updated October 29, 2009

Important: For information on MIMIX support for V6R1, see

http://portal.lakeviewtech.com/DownloadManager/Support/TechnicalDocuments/supportedenvironments.pdf.

The following list of IBM PTFs have been identified by MIMIX as either required or recommended
prerequisites for this operating system version. MIMIX recommends that PTFs be applied to all systems in your
MIMIX environment.

In many cases these PTFs may be superseded by a cumulative PTF package available from IBM. Listed next to
each PTF is the cumulative package that the PTF is available in. C1000 indicates the PTF has not been
integrated into a cumulative package and will require that it be downloaded and install separately. Please refer
to the coverage letter for each PTF. The coverage letter contains any special instructions about the PTF as well
as how the PTF must be applied.

MIMIX strongly recommends applying the following packages:

• Current IBM OS/400 cumulative PTF package C9279610 (order PTF SF99610)
• Hiper PTFs for your AS/400 hardware and licensed programs (order PTF SF99609)
• Database PTF package available via ECS only (order SF99601)
• IBM HTTP Server for iSeries (order SF99115)
• TCP/IP Group PTF (order SF99435)
• Java Group PTF (order SF99562) – for MIMIX IntelliStart
