  This PTF addresses the following problems:
  
  - Users may observe slow response times when accessing LCP panel
  VPCPLCS3 to retrieve Safeguarded backup volume statistics. The
  user may also see a corresponding increase in virtual storage
  utilization at the same time. This behavior is more likely in
  LCP configurations with 5K or more Safeguarded backup volumes
  plus a high number of Safeguarded captures per volume (i.e. 200
  or more).
  
  - The FILTER CYLS(nnnn,GT|LT) command in panel VPCPLCS3 is
  rejected with message 'Invalid FILTER syntax specified' when the
  user specifies one of the following filter masks: nnnnK or nnnnM
  or nnnnnG
  
  - Prior to this PTF, the LCP=RELEASE PROFILE(name)
  VERSION(EXPIRED) was rejected when there were no expired
  FlashCopy captures to release. Now this script statement is not
  rejected but instead ends with a warning message GEO2942W
  indicating zero captures were released.
  
  - When a Safeguarded capture is successfully taken, LCP issues a
  message detailing the user impact time. This message was not
  prefixed with a formal GDPS GEOnnnnn message identifier. This
  PTF now prefixes this message with message identifier GEO2957I.
  

Problem conclusion

• DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
  The following changes will be reflected in a future revision of
  the GDPS Message and Codes (ZG24-6762).  There is a new message
  GEO2957I, and message GEO2942W has a new insert value to
  differentiate between SAFEGUARD and FLASHCOPY captures. Refer to
  the ++HOLD(DOC) for message text.
