Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS     *
  *                 Version 1 Release 6 (FMID: HAHN160) who use  *
  *                 Policy Services.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Policy Services ISPF User Interface *
  *                      adds a function to change actions of    *
  *                      rules in policies.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Policy Services ISPF User Interface could not update actions
  of rules specified in a policy.
  For example, Rule IBM.IX_CICA_SPLIT.10 in the policy
  SYS.DBDTYPE.INDEX has following thresholds and actions.
    Threshold: LOW  Action: MESSAGE
    Threshold: MED  Action: MESSAGE
    Threshold: HIGH Action: INDEXBLD
  The user could not change action of HIGH threshold from INDEXBLD
  to REORG, even if the user wants to change.
  This enhancement enables users to change actions of rules
  specified in policies.
  This enhancement is being implemented as a result of RFE
  requirements 107037.
  
  A new policy package IBM.DBDTYPE.FFDBALL is provided. This
  policy specifies all types of full function databases and their
  index databases.
  
  This APAR also handles following problems.
  1. When the Policy Services ISPF User Interface gets an internal
  error, it gets S0CF abend in module BSNWA010. This enhancement
  includes the fix to call termination API correctly.
  2. When the user selects a rule in Policy Rules Selection panel,
  cancel the select, then re-select same rule, the rule is
  specified in duplicate. This enhancement includes the fix not to
  duplicate the rule.
