IJ30179: "RELEASE NOTES" CHAPTER TO MENTION DETAILS OF THE APAR IJ25327 SOLUTION

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The "Release notes" chapter of ILMT documentation (https://www.i
  bm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JFY_9.2.0/com.ibm.lmt.doc/I
  nventory/start/c_release_notes.html) needs to be corrected. The
  APAR IJ25327 description is insufficient. As of now it states:
  
  
  ---
  APAR:
  IJ25327
  
  SYMPTOMS:
  During the upgrade, the
  installer attempts to move the current installation location of
  License Metric Tool to the backup folder. When it is not
  possible because a dedicated mount point is used, the upgrade
  fails.
  
  BEHAVIOR AFTER YOU INSTALL THE UPDATE
  The issue does
  not occur.
  ---
  
  The "BEHAVIOR AFTER YOU INSTALL THE UPDATE"
  column entry needs to be reworked to contain more precise
  information instead of just "The issue does not occur". The
  APAR IJ25327 introduces a solution based on an additional
  environment variable named "tlm_debug_disable_upgrade_check"
  which allows ILMT operator to control the "mv" check for
  troubleshooting and correction purposes.
  
  Additionally, the
  APAR link page specified in the table needs to be improved to
  contain more precise APAR information.
