APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• All customers running TPC 4.2.x can potentially hit problems
  with the event polling for SVC and XIV storage subsystems in
  TPC. The symptoms are error messages regarding the date format
  in the event logs in the <tpc>/device/epm folder. further, no
  events for the affected subsystems appear in tpc. the external
  process that polls for events needs to be fixed so that events
  can be processed by tpc.
