    Increase the CRL field length in TR34 ICSF services

    The CRL field length in TR34 ICSF services CSNDT34B and CSNDT34D are defined with only 3500 bytes. If the CA sends a CRL more than 3500 bytes then the services will fail resulting in ATMs going out of service.

    Remove HMC network restriction that 2nd NIC must be in a separate network

    The current HMC network setup requires that the 2nd NIC on an HMC be in a separate network. The restriction should be removed, so the 2nd NIC can be in the same network as the 1st NIC. The 2nd NIC should be cabled to a different physical switch th...

    allow BCPii to show current number of engines enabled to a Z/OS (and any other type of) LPAR

    There is currently a field in BCPii (number-general-purpose-processors) that we thought was the number of current GP engens enabled. Support has confirmed that this is not the current number of engines that are live, it's once again a re-statement...
