    Did you know SYSVIEW gives you the ability to do a z/OS PTF Analysis? 

    This shows you which z/OS PTFs have been applied and details, like the PTF description. (more details here)


    What does this have to do with Gen?

    This SYSVIEW feature is dependent on a tracking element in each Gen z/OS PTF. Going forward all Gen z/OS PTFs will automatically have a tracking element, but we needed to add it to prior PTFs for Gen 8.6 on z/OS. 


    What do I need to do?

    To take full advantage of SYSVIEW's PTF Analysis feature, you will need to install the following: 

    1. Gen's z/OS PTFs, see "PTF Tracking Element Level Set", LU04591 to LU04600
    2. SYSVIEW's LU03153

    Where can I learn more?
