RE: 270 Ops Console

Yes....I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy....luckily it's our "test"
system.
But it's been "down" nearly 2 weeks now....and still we have no concrete
steps that will fix it.

If anyone is using ops console on any machine....I would highly suggest to
make
Sure that you have IBM involved from the front....before even attempting to
go from V4R? to V5R1.

They may balk at you...but force the issue....it's better than where I am
sitting right now.
Either that...or just wait.....until they fix this bug w/ a ptf or a new
card or better instructions.

Just mention PMR # 66778 when you talk to them...and they will see what a
problem this issue really is.

:This is a known problem within IBM.  Had the same issue doing

:manually........I not only raised hell with the support

:You are right on the mark about much end user responsibility
