The best (i.e., most complete) source of APAR documentation is though IBMLINK. This is a pay-for IBM service. Most mainframe shops have a maintenance agreement that gives them access to IBMLINK; many non-mainframe shops do not. I'm sure that SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE in TRW does!
There is also a free data base you can get to via the IBM RS6000 web site; you just search on the APAR number. http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/solveproblems Even if your server isn't on AIX, it's worth searching that data base for client issues. However I think here you can get only CLOSED (i.e. resolved) APARS, which means you may not find the most recent problems. You can also go to the TSM home page, click Tivoli Support, go to Ask Tivoli and search for the APAR #. For that you need to register and get an id/password. Here also, sometimes I don't find the most current info. I have had cases where I look for non-mainframe problems and find it in IBMLINK, but not in Ask Tivoli - apparently they use different keywords. I wish somebody would ask Lou Gerstner WHY we get different results from these different sources, and how that helps anybody.... -----Original Message----- From: Larry Way [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 11:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: APAR Question Need to know if documentation is available for APAR's ?
