PH37622: REMOVING ACEE MODIFICATION FROM LOG ANALYSIS TOOL V3.5.0

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Log Analysis Tool implements a security configuration (being an
  APF authorized program) that alters some settings in the ACEE
  control block. This allows protected assets (such as Db2 Logs)
  to be read strictly for the use cases the tool provides.
  This APAR will remove ACEE modification from Log Analysis Tool
  V3.5.0 to meet security requirements, so that access to Db2 data
  sets is tracked in the SMF data.
