  Enhancements related to IMS directory support. These
  enhancements are available only for the ISPF interface.
  
  - Supports a new feature, IMS directory/BSDS backup and restore.
    You can use the backup function to backup the data sets of the
    IMS directory, and the restore function to restore the data
    sets of the IMS directory from a backup.
  - Before this enhancement, the DBD/PSB compare function could
    only compare DBD and PSB resources that are stored in one IMS
    directory (between active data sets and staging data set).
    This enhancement enables the DBD/PSB compare function to
    compare DBD and PSB resources that are stored in two IMS
    directories (one of the IMS directories to compare does not
    have to be defined to IMS). The function can also compare the
    IMS directory against a backup of the IMS directory.
  
  The Backup & Restore enhancement is being implemented as a
  result of RFE 147776.
  
  Apply PH37293 to IMS Library Integrity Utilities to use
  Compare ACBs between two IMS directories.
  
  ========================
  = ACTION BEFORE APPLY  =
  ========================
  Expand the allocation and directory blocks of the SMP target
  library SATYPENU and the distribution library AATYPENU before
  applying the PTF of the APAR PH36741.
  The PTF delivers new members. As the result, the directory
  blocks of the data set is shortage.
  Increase the space by the following operation:
  
  - Rename SATYPENU and AATYPENU data sets to a temporary name.
  - Allocate new SATYPENU and AATYPENU data sets with
    SPACE=(TRK,(70,10,50)).
  - Copy members to the new SATYPENU and AATYPENU data sets.
  
  ========================
  = DOCUMENTATION CHANGE =
  ========================

  Guide and Reference (SC27-9011) is updated.
