Error description
System Automation PAM (Primary Automation Manager) status in the INGAMS command output shows ENABLED - IO SUPPRESSED. This is not understood by the customer and is not explained anywhere. The help panel INGH$AM3 needs updating as do the manuals. ENABLED - IO SUPPRESSED indicates the Takeover file is accessible by the PAM but due to an error it cannot be read or written to.
