Applying the fix

When the change team have created a fix for your problem, they might want you to test it on your system.

When the team is confident that the fix is satisfactory, the APAR is certified and the APAR is closed.

Occasionally, the solution to the APAR requires a change to the documentation only. In some circumstances, the APAR might be closed with a classification code of FIN, which means that if there is a subsequent release of WebSphere MQ for z/OS, a fix for this problem will be provided at this time.
