We have basically decided that Tivoli will never be able to provide enough
testing resources for a product as complex as TSM.  So, we are not going to
implement 4.2.3 until we have our testing environment fully implemented.
4.2.3 fixes a problem we have, but the potential pain it could cause us is
just not worth the risks.

There have already been a number of problems reported on 4.2.3 though none
appear serious.  I have not even gotten a response on what level 4.2.3 is
related to patch levels in 4.2.2.x.  So, I do not want to even try until
they can tell me that.

I pose this question because of all of the horror stories related to TSM
Server 4.2.2.x code. Don't want to go there unless things get better instead
of worse.
