PH52285: RISKY ROLLBACK IS NOT WORKING WHEN HIGH LEVEL QUALIFIER LENGTH OF COMPONENT IS CHANGED FROM DEFAULT VALUE ZERO

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Under component configurations for a z/OS component the High
  level Qualifier length input indicates number of qualifiers to
  be excluded for checking overlapping artifacts. For e.g., If it
  set to 3 then the first three qualifiers are ignored while
  determining overlapping artifacts between versions.
  
  By default the value of High level Qualifier Length is 0. If it
  is set to any number as per the requirement the risky rollback
  functionality for rolling back z/OS artifacts is not working
  correctly.
