  ****************************************************************
  GIM42100W messages for the SCYGPLGI, SCYGTMPL and SCYGWFLW
  DDDEFs occur when PTF UI99559 is applied if PTF UI99557 is
  applied at the same time.
  
  When UI99559 is applied to a system, its associated repository
  must be migrated as per the ++HOLD instructions otherwise the
  started task will not start and commands will fail with a
  CYG998E CONTROL file version mismatch message. However if the
  repository is migrated, any other systems without UI99559
  applied using that repository will get unpredictable results.
  So if UI99559 is applied on any system sharing a repository, it
  must be applied simultaneously on all the other systems sharing
  that repository.
  

Problem conclusion

• The z/OS Unix directories associated with the SCYGPLGI, SCYGTMPL
  and SCYGWFLW DDDEFs were deleted in the APPLY of UI99559,
  causing the GIM421000w messages. These directories have been
  reinstated.
  
  The code has been changed to allow the PTF to be applied to a
  system without requiring the immediate migration of the
  repository that the system is using. The migration can be
  deferred to a later time, removing the requirement that the PTF
  be applied at the same time to all systems sharing a repository.
