Comments

• New Function:
  This PTF provides the software support for D/T2107 GM Time
  Synch function.
  
  Exploitation of this new function on the D/T2107 storage
  subsystem requires this PTF and a microcode (LMC  upgrade.
  For minimum microcode levels and current maintenance required
  to exploit this new function, refer to the Technical
  Information section of announcement letter ENUS113-043 which
  can be located by using the following website:
  http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi
  Enter Type of content: Announcement Letter
  and Keywords: ENUS113-043
  Note that if you have never used this website, you may need
  to do some initial setup, like language selection.
  Or, you can contact IBM Hardware support for the current
  D/T2107 LMC.
  Installation of this PTF will preserve existing function when
  run with existing supported LMC.
  
  The following updates will be reflected in a future revision
  of z/OS MVS System Messages, Volume 1(ABA-AOM (SA22-7631 :
  For IBM use only.
  The following reason code has been added to return code 7720
  RQST_RSESSION_ERROR:
  
  RQST_RSESSION_REAS_SYSPLEXNAME_NOT_SUPP   EQU  0100  X'0064'
  
      Meaning: Sysplex name is not supported
  
      Action: Ensure microcode is at the correct level on all
      subordinate Control Units.
  
  ...
  The following updates will be reflected in a future revision
  of the z/OS DFSMS Advanced Copy Services manual (SC35-0428 :
  
  An RQUERY with ACTION(GMLSTAT  can now display the following
  new information if the SYSPLEXNAME keyword was specified
  on start or resume. This information will not be displayed
  if SYSPLEXNAME was not specified on start or resume.
