Defective PTF ....

This is on V7R4 .... and not listed as defective but I can assure you it IS absolutely
defective. BRMS PTF SJ09069. The BRMS GUI interface does not behave well after applying this
PTF. Before anyone says to upgrade to V7R5 or R6 - it isn't happening any time soon or maybe not at all
at this point.

Typical download of the BRMS PTF Group. Installed on 3 partitions over the last
2 weekends. Staged and installed at IPL.

Once the behavior was reported to IBM, I was asked to upload 23 various pieces of doc.

Behavior is as follows:
On 1 partition, when reviewing a backup, status of completed, the control group entries can be displayed.
On a 2nd partition where the backup showed as incomplete or failed, the control group entries display an "OOPS
message.
Ona 3rd partition where the backup shows completed, the control group entries show an "OOPS" message.

Stop / end QHHTPSVR *HTTP QBRMWEBSVR.
RMVPTF.
APYPTF as QSECOFR.
Restart QBRMWEBSVR.
SETUSRBRM to *ADMIN for the appropriate personnel.

All partitions are at V7R4 and PTF's are the same across the board as are the licensed programs.

IBM is still working the case. They are saying they may have a PTF for SJ09069 avail in the Sept Group PTF's.
They can't seem to replicate the error we've presented.

They even had us create an ".HAR" file and upload it to them. Google that if you don't know what that is. I had to.

Note: All else in BRMS seems to be working as expected - 5250 and GUI.
Just not the GUI backup control group entries.

I just found it the hard way...

RMVPTF LICPGM(5770DG1) SELECT(SJ10844) RMV(*TEMP) RMVDEP(*YES)
DLTPTF PTF(SJ10844)

---------------------------

Has anyone applied the recent security fixes? (v7r5)

I see there is a new defective ptf

subject: Fix Central and Open Cases

This morning I tried to download V7R5 PTFs from all the CVEs issued recently.  Two attempts to order the PTFs.  First one Saturday simply did not place the order.  This morning we are getting an error which appears to show the PTFs cannot be selected.  This is somewhat unusual since when IBM allows you to select a PTF in the Fixcentral it is available.  So, anyone else experiencing        this?

Here?s a text version of the error in Fix Central:
