Issues with Partitioning after Fixpacks

Hi All, we have run into a production issue that started after DataStage Fixpack 3 was installed on our production server. It seems that DataStage decided to partition differently after the patch than it did previously. The job is very simple with an input dataset joining to other datasets with AUTO paritioning. The issue is the join wasn't working anymore in that we do not get matches based on the key. We changed the partiioning from AUTO to SAME and it resolved the issue. The worry is how many other jobs are affected? Has anyone else run into a similar issue after a fixpack installation?

To which actual version did you apply Fix Pack 3? What does your official support provider have to say? Have you searched IBM website for known issues around this Fix Pack?
