    Can anyone explain to me what IBM are thinking in changing the [i]syslog[/i] functionality in ML02?

    Not only have they broken Tivoli DM, plus host IDS and various other log file applications, they have failed to fix the problem correctly. They have now supplied a APAR which requires a code'-N'[/code] to revert back to the "normal" mode. Why? Are there any IBM'ers around who can comment on these changes and the lack of documenation to support the change?

    Best Regards

    I personally don't think this Forum is a place where developers will comment on thinking/plans and this may well still be a bug that can get fixed.

    IBM and "thinking" reminds me of "military" and "intelligence" oxymoron jokes!
