1.3.0.14 is the full level. The base level would be 1.3.0.0; each higher
number, (the 14) would be added by a PTF. PTFs have names like "U123456".
You can search for them on the IBM web site.

If you want to find out which particular PTF relates to 1.3.0.14, go to
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/rs6k/fixdb.html
and search by fileset, entering java130.rte.bin. You'll get a list of all
fix levels for this, with the relevant PTF number.

This indicates it was U477017. If you go to the APAR database, you can look
for this:
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.CAPARdb

In this case, it'll tell you that it's a dummy PTF: it's just a label for a
group of fixes, and the PTF document will list which actual faults are
resolved but you'll have to search for those separately.
