        Subject:        Supported COMMMETHOD for v4.1

        I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but IPXSPX, NETBIOS
and SNA are no longer valid COMMunication METHODs in your dsmserv.opt in
v4.1  We found out the hard way after upgrading from v3.1 to v3.7 then to
v4.1 yesterday.  Our three hour install ended up being 11 hours after having
to downgrade back to v3.7.

        We did not find any references to this in any of the v4.1
documentation, but a support call to Tivoli did confirm that these are no
longer supported communication methods.

        I hope this helps others of you trying to decide whether to upgrade
to v3.7 or v4.1.

        This brings up a question.  Does anyone know how long v3.7 will be
supported?
