PH34285: AGENT PARAMETER "IMSNAME_EQ_IMSSSID(Y)" NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WITH SOME IMS NAMES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When agent parameter " IMSNAME_EQ_IMSSSID(Y)" is specified,
  meaning only audit IMS systems where the IMS SSID is EQUAL to
  the IMS Name of the IMS definition in the appliance policy/rule,
  and the IMS definition name has the first 4 characters equal to
  the IMS SSID, the names are considered a match in when looking
  for a policy in the DLI call auditing area (IMS ONLINE and
  DLI/DBB batch). This 4 byte match is incorrect and all 8 bytes
  of both fields should be used to determine if a match has
  occurred.
  EXAMPLE:
  IMS SSID=IFA2
  IMS Definition Name = IFA2ABC
  We consider these two names a match, but they should not be.
