Hi Mark, We recycled last year because of OA19062 but having the PTFs applied did not include a recycle of RMF in our procedures this year. I don't know when it changed but it has been a while I thought.
APAR Identifier ...... OA19062 Last Changed ........ 07/02/02 RMF MONITOR I OR RMF DISTRIBUTED DATA SERVER (DDS): HIGH CPU USAGE AFTER TIME CHANGE Symptom ...... LP LOOP Status ...........

So this was fixed. When? Was it on a release boundary or there an APAR? Maybe it was this APAR in 2002: APAR Identifier ...... OW52129 Last Changed ........ 02/02/04 VARIOUS RMF PROBLEMS AT MONITOR III DATASET SUPPORT. This fixed affected z/OS 1.2 and lower systems. Even though the z/OS 1.2 level of RMF was still used in z/OS 1.3 and 1.4, the fix was included at GA (I assume from looking at the APAR). I'll have to get our procedures updated to remove the need to recycle RMF at the time changes.
