PI92211: Z/OSMF USER DIRECTORY MOVE FROM var TO global ie, /var/zosmf to /global/zosmf

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM previously recommended placing the z/OSMF user directory
  under /var/zosmf.  IBM has changed the recommendation to
  /global/zosmf in order to make it easier for z/OSMF-based
  applications with sysplex scope to remain synchronized with
  sysplex-scoped data repositories such as the RACF database, WLM
  policy, and TCP/IP profile; to make it easier to move the z/OSMF
   server to different z/OS systems in a sysplex; and to help
  simplify automatic recovery from LPAR or z/OSMF server failures.
  

Local fix

• Manually move zOSMF data directory to a sysplex-scoped directory
