The link in the “Epic” opens up PP-280 instead of PP-371. This needs to be corrected. Also, the change control cannot be stable, but obsolete. Thanks, Prakash ---

@GajendraSharma, I didn’t receive the notification as the tag in your comment is not correct :). I do have a generic comment on the EDD. It does say that the support will be dropped, but doesn’t mention the reason behind it. Can we add it? Thanks, Prakash ---

@GajendraSharma, I have two minor comments. –\>point number 7 of “Interface: Remove netwins resource” can be reworded to make it more readable and easily understandable. –\>PBS\_ibwins hook was also found at $PBS\_HOME/server\_priv/hooks as shown below: [root@machine home]# cd /var/spool/PBS/server\_priv/ [root@machine server\_priv]# cd hooks/ [root@machine hooks]# ll total 32 -r–r--r-- 1 root root 68 Feb 26 2016 PBS\_ibwins.HK -r–r--r-- 1 root root 6887 Feb 26 2016 PBS\_ibwins.PY -r–r--r-- 1 root root 80 Feb 26 2016 PBS\_translate\_mpp.HK -r–r--r-- 1 root root 10032 Feb 26 2016 PBS\_translate\_mpp.PY drwxr-x— 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 10:58 tmp -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 17 10:58 [tracking.TR](http://tracking.TR) [root@machine hooks]# pwd /var/spool/PBS/server\_priv/hooks Should we also mention this location in last point?

Should we also be removing PBS\_AC\_ENABLE\_AIXIB and PBS\_AC\_ENABLE\_HPS from the spec file together with the corresponding m4 files? ---

@prakashcv13 , this looks more like a requirement query then EDD query. ---

@mkaro, if you recall, we decided to only remove the netwins resource and pbs\_ibwins hook as part of this after due discussions and input from ScottC, SamG, Subhasis. Rest AIX infrastructure, we decided to keep it intact. The primary reason we took this work was to remove display of netwins resource from external interfaces. ---

@GajendraSharma, we usually have some explanation even though brief (maybe through a summarized requirement) behind doing an external change in the EDD. Hence, the comment. ---

@GajendraSharma, the comment is not about clarity, but a brief mention of the requirement in the EDD. I do understand it is not necessary to have it. I usually prefer to do so as it provides a little bit of the background in the same place and for detail we can look at the ticket. I do not insist you to do it, however. Thanks, Prakash ---

@GajendraSharma: Yes it is understandable now. Thanks for making that change. However I have one more minor comment. Could you please replace “/var/spool/PBS/” with $PBS\_HOME [Next page](https://community.openpbs.org/t/pp-371-remove-aix-specific-netwins-resource-and-pbs-ibwins-hook/324.md?page=2)
