IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center Readme File
Version 8, Release 1, Modification 13.100
ATTENTION
This is interim fix (patch) level 8.1.13.100.
It is intended to provide relief for critical problems where a local circumvention is unavailable.
A limited amount of testing has been done to verify the fixes. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional
testing before you put the package into a production environment.
These fixes will be tested further by IBM and included in the next maintenance or fix
pack level.
