Problem conclusion

• This APAR introduces new SMF 1154 records that provide
  compliance evidence for the TCP/IP stack (subtype 1), FTP daemon
  (subtype 2), TN3270E Telnet server (subtype 3), and CSSMTP
  client (subtype 4). These records are written in response to an
  ENF 86 signal that requests data for the system. The ENF 86
  signal is triggered by a z/OSMF Compliance REST API.
