• Fix Category: CA.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V2R4

   The CA ASM2 Intelligent Transparent Restore (IXR) facility               
   is no longer supported on z/OS 2.4 and later releases.                   
   IXR uses user key common storage (USER KEY CSA) which,                   
   with z/OS 2.4, is no longer permitted by the operating system.           
   Earlier releases of z/OS allowed the use of this storage when the        
   parameter VSM ALLOWUSERKEYCSA(YES)  was specified in                     
   the appropriate system DIAGxx parmlib member, but this parameter         
   is no longer available.                                                  
   When IXR is started on z/OS 2.4 or later, it terminates with             
   SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=B78 REASON CODE=0000005C.
