Comments

• DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
  
  Documentation for the enhanced MzGM to MGM migration enhancement
  can be found in two documents. Reference the one pertinent to
  your current topology (either MzGM3SITE or MzGM4SITE).
  
  - The MZGM3SITE document is 'Migration procedures from GDPS
    Metro Global - XRC 3-site to GDPS Metro Global - GM 3-site'
  
  - The MZGM4SITE document 'Migration procedures from GDPS Metro
    Global - XRC 4-site to GDPS Metro Global - GM 4-site'
  
  In addition, file XRC_to_GM_Migration_Readme.txt contains
  the latest revisions to the migration procedures.
  
  The following files can be found in the fromibm/docs directory
  of the FTP site for the GDPS Metro Global - XRC offering.
  
  XRC_to_GM_Migration_Readme.txt
  Migration_XRC3-GM3_4-Oct-2022.pdf
  Migration_XRC4-GM4_4-Oct-2022.pdf
  
  See DOC hold for highlights of changes.
  
  ACTION REQUIRED
  
  This PTF makes major changes to the MzGM3SITE to MGM3SITE
  migration process. Existing previously customized scripts
  will no longer produce correct results.
  
  Installations who are preparing for migration from MzGM3SITE
  to MGM3SITE topology, who have previously customized the
  provided Migration samples for their environment must redo
  the customization using the new samples provided.
  
  Migrations should not be performed with prior levels of code.
  
  MULTIPLE SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
  
  Prior to attempting the MzGM to MGM migration, this PTF must be
  installed in all controlling systems and SDM systems involved in
  the MzGM to MGM migration. This includes Kp, Kg, Kr, Kx, and SDM
  systems. Be sure to recycle NetView to pick up code changes.
