Tip Using Device Manager, FICON auto-save can be invoked by multiple users logged on to the same
FICON-enabled switch. Device Manager performs a periodic auto-save on any FICON-enabled switch
causing increments in the FICON key counter. These increments highlight a change that has actually not
occurred. To avoid this we recommend that only one instance of Device Manager monitor a
FICON-enabled switch.
