Ingrida, 
How does this addresses the lack of any readme in patch directories? Of course 
I am assuming that if there is a patch posted there was a reason for it. It 
seems counterproductive to search one location for a patch that potentially 
addresses your issue then having to search a different location to try and 
determine what the patch addresses.

Subject: [ADSM-L] APARs fixed in TSM 7.1.0.100

Thank you for your comments about the recent Tivoli Storage Manager patch 
release. The 7.1.0.100 patch release that is currently available is intended 
only to update the Operations Center V7.1.0 on Linux so that it can run on an 
IBM Power Systems server. A 7.1.0.100 patch release for the Tivoli Storage 
Manager server is planned, and might be released in the coming months. This is 
subject to the sole discretion of IBM.

We would also like to address the related comment about APAR lists. When APAR 
updates are included in a patch release, the readme file includes a link to an 
APAR list that is published in the IBM Support portal, as shown in this example:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21639086

The APAR list includes dynamic links that provide more information about each 
APAR. The reason for publishing the APAR list in the IBM Support portal is that 
minor changes might be required in the list after publication. In those cases, 
we update the list.

We are grateful for your feedback, and we hope that we answered your questions. 
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
