APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
If certain errors occur while trying to log a 9210 Product
Activity Log entry the tape device driver may loop resulting in
many SRC94299210 entries.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA49439 :
-----------------------------
The tape device driver has been changed to prevent the looping
condition while logging a SRC94299210 Product Activity Log
entry.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA49439 :
--------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions


********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF68268 :
=================================================

This is a PTF for the tape device driver.  To fully activate the PTF
the following steps must be done for all the IOPs with a tape device
attached.

To activate this PTF for an IOP
that will allow VARY ON with RESET(*YES):

1.  Vary off all tape devices attached to the IOP.
2.  Vary on one of the devices under the IOP using:

VRYCFG CFGOBJ(The device) CFGTYPE(*DEV) RESET(*YES)

and other parameters as would normally be done.
3.  Vary on all of the other devices normally.

If it is not possible to vary on with the RESET(*YES) option,
you must IPL the system to activate this PTF.

The system can still run without fully activating this PTF but
the problem being fixed may still occur until the fix is fully
activated.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
