EZZ0808I

Explanation
 The parameter value and the
DISTMETHOD parameter are specified on a VIPADISTRIBUTE  profile statement,
but the DISTMETHOD parameter value is not SERVERWLM. The parameter value
is valid only when the DISTMETHOD parameter specifies SERVERWLM.  
In
the message text:  
parameter
A parameter on the VIPADISTRIBUTE profile statement
lineno
The line number in the profile data set that contains the incorrect
specification

System action
 If processing an initial profile or
a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command, the VIPADISTRIBUTE statement and any
subsequent statements in the VIPADYNAMIC block are ignored. Profile
processing continues.
This message is also displayed
as part of VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing when the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
command detects this error in a profile data set. No changes are applied
to the active configuration by VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing.

Operator response
 Contact the system programmer. 

System programmer response
Correct the VIPADYNAMIC block by doing one of the following:Remove the incorrect VIPADISTRIBUTE statement from the VIPADYNAMIC
block.
Correct the VIPADISTRIBUTE statement by deleting the parameter
that is not valid or by changing the DISTMETHOD parameter value to
SERVERWLM. 

If this message was displayed as a result of a VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
command, issue the command again to verify that you have corrected
all syntax errors in the profile. Otherwise, issue a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE
command with a profile that contains the entire VIPADYNAMIC block.
See the information about the VIPADYNAMIC
statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference.

Automation
 This message is directed to the console.
You can use automation to detect and respond to TCP/IP profile errors
reported during initial profile and VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE processing.
This message can also be displayed during VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
processing.  Because the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command does not
affect the active configuration, you might want to adjust your automation
to ignore the configuration messages that are displayed after EZZ0061I
and before EZZ0065I.
