Readme File for IBM® Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 Interim Fix 468923

Readme file for: IBM Platform Symphony

Product/Component Release: 7.1.2

Update Name: Interim Fix 468923

Fix ID: sym-7.1.2-build468923

Publication date: October 13, 2017

This interim fix provides a resolution for abnormal error handling of service instances following resource reclaim. When a service instance (SI) is reclaimed during the “create service” stage, an error message is logged to the SIM log and the SI is restarted after the timeout duration. Reclaims are typical for resource sharing in the cluster and should not trigger error messages or events.
