Readme File for IBM® Platform Symphony 6.1.1 Interim Fix 467843

Readme File for: IBM Platform Symphony

Product Release: 6.1.1

Update Name: Interim Fix 467843

Fix ID: sym-6.1.1-build467843

Publication Date: September 11, 2017

When a task record in Platform Symphony 6.1.1 exceeds 128 KB, the ‘soamview task’ command hangs. This interim fix provides a resolution for this issue, enabling the session manager (SSM) to truncate a task failure message to 2 KB, so that the task record does not exceed 128 KB. If a task record from the existing task history file is more than 128 KB, the ‘soamview task’ command does not display the task attribute message.
