1.0 Release notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This is the technology preview release of the Common Access Repository 
  Manager (CARMA) WD/z client. The CARMA WD/z client must be installed on top 
  of Websphere Developer for zSeries (WD/z) version 6.0. The default 
  installation directory for the WD/z CARMA client is: 
  
  <your WD/z 6.0 installation directory>/CARMA
  
  All CARMA plugins are installed to this installation directory. No registry 
  information is created by the installer.

2.0 Limitations

  - The installer does not support non-English languages.
  - The uninstaller may skip files if the workbench has not been shut down.
  - The PDS RAM currently supports extracting files, uploading content, and 
    replacing files only for content with a record format of "Fixed Block".
  - The PDS RAM currently does not support the following tasks: Lock, Unlock, 
    Check Out, and Check In.

3.0 Known issues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  - The refresh operation, if performed multiple times in quick sucession, may 
    display duplicate content. Simply perform the refresh operation a single 
    time to remove the duplicate content from the view.
  - If performing CARMA operations results in a "420" error, attempt to 
    reconnect to the host. If you are unable to reconnect, it may be the case 
    that the CARMA host has crashed. (Currently, if a CARMA host crashes, 
    connected clients will not be automatically disconnected).
  - If the network fails during an active connection to a CARMA host, any 
    attempt to execute CARMA operations will simply be ignored (will not 
    produce errors on the client). To resolve this problem, cancel the 
    operation, explicitly disconnect from the CARMA host, and reconnect to 
    the host.
