Error description
A parallel job that was designed in 8.0.1, and has not been modified, issues a partitioning warning after upgrading to 8.1 and FP1. This problem is not seen in 8.1 and is specific to Fix Pack1. The warning message is: buffer(3): When checking operator: Operator of type "APT_BufferOperator": will partition despite the preserve-partitioning flag on the data set on input port 0. This did not occur in the 8.0.1 or 8.1 (GA) releases.
Local fix
Set APT_NO_PART_INSERTION=True. This will prevent insertion of the partitioner. This may require the user to redesign the job with explicit definition of the partitioning.
