Problem conclusion
Added a better descriptive message, when the policy is not found in TPCDB and handled the NPE. When this message is found in the Device trace files: "Custom Policy was null for devId:", there may be a need for L3 to provide an SQL script to clean the TPCDB tables (T_SCHEDULE, T_RUNS, T_RUN_JOBS) for the specific IDs. The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance package: | refresh pack | 5.2-TIV-TPC-RP0011 - target August 2016 Fixed in IBM Spectrum Control 5.2.11. http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822 The target dates for future refresh packs do not represent a formal commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without notice.
