ASSESSMENT considering all changes: 10 fixes 0 features
Install when convenient for fixes or new features that
improve fault tolerance, availability, or problem diagnosis
Consider using this SPR to avoid
1) IGNOREOPERATORHALTS = ON doesn't keep TFDS from dumping/reloading
operator halted CPUs
2) emits error events TFMANLC.00001 and TFMANLC.00077 and abends if
unable to complete processing an incident
3) abends when creating dump for PATHTCP2
4) doesn't retry RCVDUMP/RELOAD on y-fabric if x-fabric is down
5) automatic dump analysis might take much longer than usual
6) emits Incident-ID TFDSCOM.101 whenever TFDSCOM REPORT command is
used on a corrupted database
7) doesn't reload halted CPU if GARTH program not found
8) DUPs ancillary files for 2nd S74000 CPU that halts while TFDS is
processing a prior halt
9) error message if TFDSCOM CLOSE executed successively
10) internal tracefile written to separate subvolumes
INSTALLATION IMPACT: minimal
