PM25764: REMOVE THE MESSAGE HIGHEST QMF LEVEL DETECTED AT SERVER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Remove the "HIGHEST QMF LEVEL DETECTED AT SERVER" from QMF
  migration jobs (DSQ1BLNM, DSQ1BROG, DSQ1BINX and DSQ1BVW).
  
  The message does not provide any useful information and can be
  confusing so will be removed.
  

Local fix

• The level will not change until the release level runtime
  packages (the ones bound by DSQ1BPKG) are run.
  So the release doesn't flip until the installation is complete
  (ie. DSQ1BPKG is run).

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  QMF installation jobs such as DSQ1BLNI, DSQ1BINX, DSQ1BVW,
  DSQ1BLNM that use the QMF installation utility program DSQ0BSQL
  will produce the informational message 'HIGHEST QMF LEVEL
  DETECTED AT SERVER IS:'.  The message informs the user of the
  highest level of QMF runtime packages detected at the current
  server.  While installing QMF V9.1, this message would reflect
  QMF810 (if QMF V8.1 was previously installed) until the QMF V9.1
  runtime packages job, DSQ1BPKG, was run. This message has been a
  source of confusion and caused many PMRs to confirm everything
  was successful.  The message does not really provide useful
  information to our users. This APAR will just remove the
  issuance of that message.
  

Problem conclusion

• The informational message regarding the highest level of QMF
  detected at the server will be removed from the DSQ0BSQL
  program.
