  COMMAND TREE/2 FAILURES
  =======================
  IF YOU GET INTERMITTENT FAILURES WITH MSM COMMANDS ISSUED FROM
  GMF INDICATING THAT THE DESTINATION ADDRESS IS NOT KNOWN,
  THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY THE GETTOPO COMMANDS ARE
  BEING SPECIFIED.
  
  ONE SUCH PROBLEM MAY ARISE IF THE FOLLOWING GETTOPOS ARE
  ISSUED:
  
    GETTOPO XXXRES,SP=NETA.NETV1.LU1,......
    GETTOPO XXXRES,SP=NETB.NETV1.LU2,......
  HERE, THE SAME DOMAIN NAME (NETV1) IS BEING USED WITH SERVICE
  POINTS (LU1 AND LU2) WHICH RESIDE IN DIFFERENT NETWORKS
  (NETA AND NETB). THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR COMMAND TREE/2 WHICH
  MAY RESULTS IN COMMANDS BEING ROUTED TO THE WRONG NETWORK.
  
  TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM, MAKE SURE THAT THE DOMAIN SPECIFIED
  IN THE GETTOPO COMMAND IS FOR THE DOMAIN WHICH OWNS THE
  SERVICE POINT.  FOR EXAMPLE:
  
    GETTOPO XXXRES,SP=NETA.NETV1.LU1,......
    GETTOPO XXXRES,SP=NETB.NETV2.LU2,......

  The MultiSystem Manager home page has moved from
  
      www.raleigh.ibm.com/svd/product/msmprod.htm
  
  It can now be accessed at
  
      www.networking.ibm.com/msm/msmprod.htm
  
  Wherever the old URL is documented,
  it should be replaced with the new URL.
  
  As an example; the NetView MultiSystem Manager manuals,
  Chapter 1, under 'Creating Applications to Manage New
  Topologies', in the section titled 'Learning More
  About MultiSystem Manager Tools'.
  All MultiSystem Manager V2 manuals.
  Chapter 4.  Operation
  Section:  Issuing Commands
  
  Addition:
  
  New paragraph at end of section.
  
  Generic Commands (Current Status, Activate, Inactivate,
  Recycle) are not supported by MultiSystem Manager.
  They can be implemented using the BLDVIEWS utility.
  For information on BLDVIEWS, see "Supplemental Tools
  and Utilities" in Chapter One of this manual.
  
  ************************************************************
  
  BLDVIEWS manual
  Section:  Other Functions
  
  Change:
  
  Under "Generic Commands" within the "Other Functions"
  section of the BLDVIEWS manual, the paragraph that discusses
  generic commands against aggregate resources should be
  replaced with the following paragraph:
  
  The NGMF command exit DUICNATV will not allow you to issue
  generic commands against aggregate resources.
  BLDVIEWS and NETVCMDX will allow you to set the generic
  commands on aggregate resources.
  NETVCMDX is available from MKTTOOLS.
  The MKTTOOLS repository can be accessed by your
  IBM representative by issuing the VM command
  'TOOLCAT MKTTOOLS' and then selecting the MSMCMD31 package.
