XU*8.0*290, BCMA Contingence Support has some undesirable side-effects described below. SD&D is reviewing the situation and determining whether this patch should be entered in error. Unless there is a pressing need (e.g., a critical patch dependency), it is recommended that sites DO NOT INSTALL this patch until further notice. Description of problem: Per NOIS BRX-0603-11451, after the install of the patch the XU USER TERMINATE option loses functionality used by national patches and local software that should occur upon the termination of a user. Here is an example of XU USER TERMINATE **before** the patch: NAME: XU USER TERMINATE MENU TEXT: User terminate event TYPE: extended action CREATOR: XXXX DESCRIPTION: This is a protocol to link other packages that want to know about a USER TERMINATE event. Other packages can attach to this protocol option and they will be called when a USER is Terminated. DUZ will be the person that is running the terminate option. XUIFN will point to the NEW PERSON file entry that is being terminated. It is called from XUSTERM2. ITEM: USR USER TERMINATE ITEM: GMRC TERMINATE CLEANUP ITEM: OR TERMINATE CLEANUP ITEM: PRCS TERMINATE ITEM: TIU TEMPLATE USER DELETE After the patch is installed, there will be no records in the ITEM multiple. If a site needs to install this patch before SD&D determines whether or not to enter this patch in error, it is recommended that the following steps be used: 1. Electronically save the current (before patch) Standard Captioned Output for the XU USER TERMINATE record in the OPTION file. 2. Follow the patch install instructions for XU*8.0*290 3. Manually re-populate the MENU multiple of the OPTION file with values that existed before the patch.
