IV72682: SETTING THE 'KEEPLASTBROKENSAF' PROPERTY TO '1' DOES NOT WORK.

Direct links to fixes

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If the 'KeepLastBrokenSAF' property is set to '1' then if any
corrupt records are found during store-and-forward of cached
alerts, the original SAF file should be retained and renamed to
a file with the suffix '.broken'. Due to regression caused by an
earlier defect fix, this is not happening.

Local fix

There is no easy workaround. The ''StoreSAFRejects' property can
be set to capture those SAF records that are defective.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
