Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Message IGD17501I ATTEMPT TO OPEN A HFS FILE FAILED, RETURN CODE
  IS 00000081 REASON CODE IS 0594003D occurs if attempting to
  start the CAE Server on USS when the server logs directory has
  not been created.
  
  The comments in SCQMSAMP member CQMCAESV are being updated to
  clarify that the CAE Server logs directory must be created
  explicitly by the customer, since the CAE Server itself does not
  create the logs directory.
  
  The convention is to put the log directory in an entirely
  separate HFS (or ZFS) from where the Server is installed. This
  is to prevent any log overflows from affecting the availability
  of HFS space for other server purposes.
  
  Also, as of CQM V3.1, the HFS where the CAE Server is installed
  should be mounted read-only.
