Re: Notification of New Function APARs
Sorry, some tips that I should have mentioned: - don't search for "NewFunction", search for "New Function". That works. - the "backlog" file (and also the instruction file) don't seem to have a name on them from the overview page. Not sure how it got formatting into the Techdoc. You should see two unnamed files on the overview page: a PDF (the instructions) and a text file (the backlog file). Download both files. This should help!

Re: Notification of New Function APARs
Have someone been able to find the file with old "NewFunction" Apars mentioned on the last page of the document? My search always ends with no document. "Obtaining Older New Function APAR Numbers Once you have a subscription for all the future New Function APARs, you may want to see the prior New Function APARs that have occurred. To obtain a list of New Function APARs that have closed between 8 October 2011 and 7 October 2013, download the NewFunctionAPARs until 7Oct13.txt file from the WSC TechDocs location: http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/Web/TechDocs, then search Flashes for ?NewFunction? .

I'd like to point out a new WSC Techdoc in case you missed it. You can find it at: http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS5188 . This Techdoc has instructions on how to use the existing Service Portal function, MyNotifications, to give you information on new function APARs as they close. This capability had been a SHARE requirement, so you may be interested in it. You can find the details at that website, but I'll describe it here. You probably are using MyNotifications today, and this is just an additional capability. In the TechDoc, there are two files - one is a PDF that you can use step-by-step to sign up for New Function notification, the other is text file "backlog" of New Function APARs that we gathered on 7 October 2013. (I can re-gather a more current list periodically, for those that sign up later and have a gap in what is on this list and what is in their subscription.) It's really very easy to register your notification. The idea is that you subscribe to all the z/OS New Function APARs, and then you decide how you want to get notification of them through the normal process in MyNotifications - email or folder. You can't scope it to just BCP or RACF or whatever...it is z/OS platform wide. The notification will tell you the APAR number, component name (so you can see if you are interested in that component), a brief abstract of the APAR, and a URL link to get you to more information on it on the web. I've posted this information in my SHARE Blog also, and if you'd like to make a comment there (or here!) on using it, please do! -Marna WALLE z/OS System Installation IBM Poughkeepsie -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
