Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PE client logon fails after password change on the host without
  restarting OMPE server. This occurs only if exception processing
  is active on PE client so disconnect is performed instead of

  and logons with new (changed) password fails till OMPE server
  restart.

• Restart OMPE server after password change for PE client userid
