About PTFs
In Powertech Antivirus for IBM i versions prior to 8.2, Fortra released Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs) and/or product enhancements that could be used to update the product much like IBM PTFs are used to update the OS. As of version 8.2, all product updates are acquired from either the Fortra Support Portal or using Fortra Application Hub or Fortra Insite, and included in the product installation process. Product updates are no longer provided as PTFs.
Disabling Automatic PTF Updates
If Powertech Antivirus for IBM i was previously configured to download and apply PTFs, remove the corresponding scheduled jobs. To do so:
- From the Powertech Antivirus for IBM i Main Menu, choose option 4, Work with Job Schedule Entries.
- On the Work with Job Schedule Entries screen, use option 4 to remove any scheduled jobs that are named AVUPGRADE. Do not remove jobs named AVUPDATE.
