IBM Platform Symphony 7.1.1 Interim Fix 479286 Readme File

Abstract

This fix enhances the error logging for the Platform Symphony.

Description

The LIM logs do not show clear error messages when the host cache file (such as kernel/work/lim/hostcache) is inaccessible. This fix increases the log level when the host cache file is inaccessible, from DEBUG to WARNING, so that the LIM logs will show clear error messages.

This fix applies only to the following platform:
