A PTF normally follows an APAR ([[Authorized Program Analysis Report]]<ref>{{cite web |last1=IBM Corporation |title=IBM Security: APARs explained |url=https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-security-apars-explained |website=ibm.com |accessdate=Oct 14, 2019}} a formal report from IBM development to customers that have notified IBM of a problem or suspected defect.</ref>), and where an "APAR fix" was issued, the PTF "is a tested APAR"<ref name=Gabe/> or set of APAR fixes. However, if an APAR is resolved as "Fixed If Next" or "Permanent Restriction" then there may be no PTF fixing it, only a subsequent release.
