Resolution

We have a published PTF SO04840 that provides a new procedure and load module. This new procedure will require TLMS to be down to build the VMF index file. It also will build the VMF index file in the same elapsed time and EXCP count, that CAIVMFXU does with older releases of TLMS. PTF SO03935 is available via support.ca.com.
