Apply maintenance or manually clean up old
summary files

Problem conclusion

  • After modifying summary file naming to improve their
usability, the janitor does not clean them up.  This change
causes summary files to not be properly cleaned up.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
With this APAR, summary files are cleaned up with the
same rules as the incident files that they correlate to.

APAR PM08139 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
