  ****************************************************************
  01.The reported server DataStore version should be 9.1.1.
  02.Deleting a symbolic link for a folder from RSE deletes the
     folder contents.
  03.If a z/OS machine hasn't properly configured their DNS
     settings, an NPE can occur with the server. While there is
     already a workaround for this scenario, there is no message
     indicating to the administrator what might have gone wrong.
     The second issue is that .dstoreHashmap files can get
     frequently created in some scenarios and these files aren't
     very useful to users.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The reported DataStore version is now 9.1.1.
  02.When a user deletes a symbolic link for a folder, the
     contents are not deleted.
  03.The RSE server will attempt to fall back to reading the
     hostname via a shell command. If that fails then, a error
     message will indicate a problem and suggest the workaround.
     For .dstoreHashmap log entries will not get created by
     default and older ones will be deleted after a two days.
