Re: TSM OS390 server finalized "maintenance"
2002-09-13 18:27:17
Brian, Zoltan,
I was on 4.2.1.9 for a long time (6 months?), waiting for 4.2.2.* to
be good enough. I finally upgraded to 4.2.2.10 and the server is running ok.
Not perfect though, I have some byte=0 in the summary table still
even though the readme says an apar is included to fix it.
If you must get off 4.2.1.*, 4.2.2.10 is a good spot.
5.* is a problem because of the licensing change (client go from
$2/month to $5).
Hope this helps,
Bill
