That's their normal message for "fixtest" code.
Here's another:
"Note: While this patch has not been tested as extensively as our
usual
maintenance PTFs, it has undergone significantly more testing than
prior fixtests."

Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Fix for Windows NT Clients/fix
4.1.2.12
Hello all,
I downloaded the doc on 4.1.2.12 because I just put TSM in
and have
about 30 NT servers with 4.1.0 client code in them. There is a
warning
saying THIS FIXTEST SOFTWARE HAS NOT BEEN FULLY SYSTEM TESTED. Is
this an
old warning? Is it O.K. to put this fix in? I haven't tried
putting
maintenance on clients yet. Do all the fixes go on at once or is it
set up
to pick and choose which fixes you want?
Matt

Andy/all.
The original post, I believe tht was referencing a "new" DST
problem, not a reminder
to the old DST problem.
see ftp read1stc info on ic28969...that has (daylight
savings
fixtest) noted in the
readme...maybe the readme is wrong because pulling up the
apar...yes, it
doesn't reference DST...

Hi Tim,
Actually I was referring only to the DST problem (IC28544),
per the
subject
and content of the original post to which I responded.
IC28969 has
nothing
to do with the DST problem; it is just another APAR fix that
was
included
in the 4.1.1.16 client. Although I was not involved in
fixing that
problem,
it is my understanding that it has been in the code for
quite some
time,
and in fact is not limited to just Windows. If you are
fairly
current on
your maintenance and are not experiencing the problem, then
I
wouldn't
worry about it; you're fine.
As far as DST goes, as long as you are one of the versions
that
fixes it
(listed in my first post on this subject, text included
below), you
do not
need to rush into installing new clients just for DST.
Best regards,
Andy

Andy/all, I read your update, I read apar ic28969
and
ic28544.
Are you saying that
ic28544: "AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST CLOCK FOR DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS
CHANGES"
CAUSES INCREMENTAL TO DO FULL BACKUP OF NTFS FILES
and
ic 28969 TSM CLIENT SHOWS SIGNS OF MEMORY LEAK
DURING
SCHEDULED
BACKUPS.
are referring to the *same* problem as was
discovered last
October.
ic28969 (memory leak) has been seen or "This problem
was
witnessed
on the 4.1.1.16 client for NT, but
can affect all platforms. It may also affect
earlier
client
levels." -< quote from the apar..
This would contridict your update proposal
(that...4.1.1.16
is
ok....).
I opened up an etr/pmr asking to narrow the client
platforms
and
levels. Shops with large TSM client
installations can't respond quickly to upgrading TSM
client
code....on a dime...

Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Fix for Windows
NT
Clients
Before anyone shakes their fists and yells, "not
AGAIN!!!",
please understand that this is really just a
*reminder*,
referring to the *same* problem as was discovered
last
October. If you installed the fixing patch for this
last
October, you are OK for the change to DST.
The notice is not as clear as it could be, so in
order to
avoid further confusion, I have asked that it be
changed to
something like this:
=========================================================
REMINDER
Daylight Savings Time Fix for Windows NT/2000
Last October a problem was discovered in the TSM
client for
Windows NT and 2000 that caused the first
incremental backup
following a change between Standard Time and
Daylight
Savings
Time to back up all files. (Thereafter incremental
backups
would run normally, at least until the next change
between
Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time.)
This problem is documented in APAR IC28544. It
affects data
only on NTFS volumes, so Windows 95 and 98 are not
affected;
Windows NT and 2000 FAT-formatted volumes are not
affected.
The problem affects TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.0 - 3.7.2.16, and 4.1.0.0 - 4.1.1.0.
The problem was fixed in TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.17 - 3.7.2.19, 4.1.1.16, and 4.1.2.0.
For TSM Windows clients running on the Alpha
processor, the
problem is fixed in version 3.7.2.19.
If you have already applied a fixing version from
last
October
(or later), then you do not need to do anything for
the
upcoming
change to Daylight Savings Time. If you are
currently
running a
version of the client that does not have the fix for
this
problem, then it is recommended that you apply one
of the
following patches:
For the TSM version 4.1 client, patch 4.1.2.12
For the TSM version 3.7 client, patch 3.7.2.19 (both
x86 and
Alpha)
=========================================================
