IBM i Migrate While Active - PTF information
Before beginning the migration process, it is best to prepare your environment by installing the latest level of PTF Groups and recommended IBM i Migrate While Active fixes for the IBM i products and options used by the migration process. Information relating to the PTF Groups and recommended fixes is found in this wiki.
A complete list of software requirements for Migrate While Active is contained within the IBM documentation and varies upon the specific release and depending on which method is chosen to perform the migration. Refer to the software requirements listed below for each migration method to ensure the correct requirements are being addressed:
The tables below list the recommended PTF Groups for IBM i Migrate While Active. While the minimum level for some of these groups is validated during the System Migration stage, it is recommended to install the most recent levels for each group on the specified node prior to beginning the migration process.
For each PTF Group listed in the tables below, links are provided to IBM Support web pages that describe the PTF Group, the most recent fix information and level, and their availability.
Source node PTF groups
On the source node, you should install the latest level of the PTF groups listed in the table below.

Query the latest PTF Group levels
Use the following SQL to understand whether the latest level of these PTF groups are applied to your node
WITH ILEVEL (IVERSION, IRELEASE) AS (
SELECT OS_VERSION, OS_RELEASE
FROM SYSIBMADM.ENV_SYS_INFO
)
SELECT P.*
FROM ILEVEL, SYSTOOLS.GROUP_PTF_CURRENCY P
WHERE PTF_GROUP_RELEASE = 'R' CONCAT IVERSION CONCAT IRELEASE CONCAT '0'
ORDER BY PTF_GROUP_LEVEL_AVAILABLE - PTF_GROUP_LEVEL_INSTALLED DESC;The tables below list individual recommended fixes for IBM i Migrate While Active that are not already contained within either the Db2 for IBM i PTF Group or the Db2 Mirror PTF Group. Each fix is a candidate for a forthcoming PTF Group and is removed from these tables after that PTF Group has been released.
In general, the recommended fixes should be installed and applied on the source node, target node, and any managing node. If a recommended fix is specifically recommended for the GUI running on the managing node, then that fix is only listed in the second table.
Recommended fixes for all nodes
The fixes in the table below should be applied on all nodes before beginning the migration process.
