Readme File for IBM® Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2 Interim Fix 526280

Readme File for: IBM Spectrum Symphony 

Product Release: 7.2.0.2

Update Name: Interim Fix 526280

Fix ID: sym-7.2.0.2-build526280

Publication Date: July 26, 2019

When common data is used in IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2, common data in the client process is not cleaned after the session is created, even when it is not needed anymore in most cases. This interim fix resolves this issue by introducing the SOAM_DELETE_COMMON_DATA_AFTER_SESSION_CREATED environment variable which you can enable to delete the common data.

NOTE: This interim fix does not apply if common data is transferred with the direct data transfer feature or Multicluster session-level failover feature is enabled.
