IBM Platform Symphony 7.1 Interim Fix 436211 Readme File

Abstract
When there are many (such as hundreds of) timestamp folders in the $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata/symsessionloader/ directory, after the database is recovered, the loader controller (PLC) requires several seconds of delay to load each timestamp file.

Description
When there are many timestamp folders in the $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata/symsessionloader/ directory, after the database is recovered, the loader controller requires several seconds of delay to load each timestamp file.

After applying this fix, when the loader controller loads data for each file, it does not calculate files in the $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata/symsessionloader/ directory, and therefore, there is no system delay.

This fix applies only to the following platform:
Linux-x86_64 hosts
