*Impact Assessment*
Impact	Description
Corrective	This is a maintenance release. It contains fixes for client-reported and internally found defects.
Test Results Close [x] Definitions Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed. This includes: Coding errors that cause a regression Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed. This includes: Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression Notes: Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error) Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition	There are no known regressions to report.
