APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
The QYPSPFRCOL joblog contains MSGMCH0601 sent to module
QPMPLPAR.  Joblog also shows MSGCPF0A9B - Probe failed for
category *LPAR.

Data is missing in file QAPMLPARH.

This problem becomes more likely as the number of partitions
increases.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE41933 :
-----------------------------
QPMPLPAR is the collector probe that obtains data for the
QAPMLPARH file.  This probe failed due to the MCH0601.   It was
caused by an incorrect pointer update related to the amount of
space needed to obtain the data.  The problem has been fixed.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE41933 :
--------------------------------
None.
