IBM i Troubleshooting

RSTLICPGM command aborted and displays following system message:

“Objects for product 7PHPZND option *BASE release *FIRST not restored.”  

Possible causes and solutions:

  • Check the installation job log and the ZendServer_installaiton.log on in the /tmp directory on the IBM i server
  • You may be missing one of the required License programs
  • You may be missing one of the required PTFs
  • You may be using the wrong version of the 5733SC1 License program
    The OS version upgrade does not upgrade License Program 5733SC1 which is not part of OS upgrade. Here is a way to check a correct version of 5733SC1 after OS version upgrade:
    1. Run the GO LICPGM command and IBM i and select option 10.
    2. Page down to 5733SC1 and press F11 to see the installed version number, which should match the current OS version.
