    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 PM11137 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
    Level (Fix Pack) 6.0.2.41 of WebSphere Application Server
    V6.0.1.
