APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
Performing a SAVOBJ of a recently cycled management collection
object to a save file intermittently fails with message MCH5204
F/#LDREQPO T/QSRSVDEQ. In addition, CPF8145 & CPF8198 are
reported to QHST.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE55960 :
-----------------------------
The damage occurred because of locking issues on internal
components of the *MGTCOL. This has been fixed by first
requesting an exclusive lock on the *MGTCOL object prior to
requesting locks on internal components.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE55960 :
--------------------------------
To avoid the locking issue without applying this PTF, users
should obtain an exclusive lock on the *MGTCOL object prior to
saving it.


Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions


After applying or removing this PTF the Collection Services collector
job (QYPSPFRCOL) must be ended and restarted for the change to take
effect.

1. To end Collection Services enter the following on the command line:
ENDPFRCOL FRCCOLEND(*YES)

2. To start Collection Services enter the following on the command
