Now that it has been 5.5 months since this problem was identified.  Has
IBM/Tivoli produced this documentation or are we still learning by osmosis?

        This is the kind of info that should have made it into the Technical
Guide
        redbook for the new release, but looks like it didn't.  Development
should
        provide a list of changes to the documentation folks, but apparently
that
        isn't happening as thoroughly as it should.  Such omissions are
self-defeating
        in failing to promote all the competitive advantages in the new
release.
        What's the story with Development management that so many things are
being
        missed?  Less golf - more management.  ;-)
