Hi,

I have an APAR, I need to find all patches that supersede this APAR.
Where can I find this information? Does IBM have something similiar to
SUN's patchdiag.xref file? Thanks a lot.

If there aren't too many patches you are interested in, you can use
<http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/pseries/aixfixes.html>
to look up the latest patch level for each affected file set.

You can also get a full list of the latest patches for all file sets by
following the "Fix release" link for your OS level from that page and
selecting the "Data file for XXX" link on the next page.
