JR46636: CMVC 228261 - SEO URL keywords are always generated in Management Center when a new catalog entry/group is created

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating new Catalog Entries and Catalog Groups in
  Management Center, SEO keywords are automatically generated.
  This behavior cannot be changed or turned off if desired.  This
  can be an issue for some customers who would like SEO keywords
  to be generated with seourlkeywordgen or an alternate generation
   method as this can cause incorrect keyword languages or keyword
   crossover to occur.
  

Local fix

• Do not create catalog entries or catalog groups using Management
   Center.
