Nearly two decades ago, I first met Toby from IBM at SHARE. At that time, she represented DFSMS Level 2 at SHARE.
Among many fond recollections from that time, I recall a phrase I first heard Toby use to describe an APAR that addressed a release-to-release toleration fix that was NOT published prior to GA but was instead discovered in the field. She called such APARs "undiscovered toleration". The film "Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country", which was released in 1991, undoubtedly was an influence for this particular phrase. The film, of course, took the phrase from Shakespeare: http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/not-that-question JES2 APAR OA32551 is an APAR which I would call "undiscovered toleration". This APAR describes an incompatibility between JES2 systems in a MAS, if there are systems at the JES2 z/OS 1.11 and pre-1.11 level present in the MAS. If a job is converted at one JES2 level, and then viewed using SDSF from a system at another JES2 level (for example, converted on 1.11 and viewed on 1.10, or visa versa), abends and/or UCB overlays can occur. So, if you have a JES2 MAS where some members are z/OS JES2 1.11 *and* other members of the same MAS are pre-1.11, you are likely exposed to this problem. The APAR is currently open, and an APAR fix is available from JES2 level 2. Fixes are required for both JES2 1.10 and JES2 1.11 levels, for some reason.
