Jim, in our shop we had to evaluate each issue on its own merit. In most
cases, the impact of the problem was such that we could wait for the
"official" fix, a PTF. In a very few cases, we applied the
APAR-suggested fix. In situations where the problem was marked HIPER, we
deliberately tried to re-create the problem in the sandbox to determine
what, if any, impact it had on us. Bottom line: each one has to be
evaluated separately for your particular situation. Sorry to be
ambiguous, but that's the only advice I can offer. Every shop is unique,
YMMV.

Hello,
I have been working with IBM on a problem involving
1. OMEGAMON XE on z/OS 4.1 exit invoked by
2. ICSF invoked by
3. LDAP using SSL/TLS with RACF.
IBM has determined that the exit is in error and is writing up an APAR.
Question: What is the policy of shops in regards to putting on APAR
versus waiting for PTF?
