EZZ0831I

Explanation
 The indicated keyword and the DISTMETHOD keyword
are specified on a VIPADISTRIBUTE profile statement.  However, the
DISTMETHOD parameter is not HOTSTANDBY. The specified keyword is valid
only when the DISTMETHOD is HOTSTANDBY. 
In
the message text: 
keyword
The keyword that is that is not valid
lineno
The line number in the profile data set that contains the keyword
that is not valid

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
 If this message was displayed
as a result of a VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command, correct the error
before using the profile data set as an initial profile or as a VARY
TCPIP,,OBEYFILE profile.
Otherwise:
If the VIPADISTRIBUTE statement is not needed, remove it from
the VIPADYNAMIC block.If the statement is needed, delete the keyword
 that is not valid or change the DISTMETHOD parameter value to HOTSTANDBY.

Then issue a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command that specifies a data
set file 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.

Example
  EZZ0831I VIPADISTRIBUTE AUTOSWITCHBACK ON LINE 15 IS NOT VALID BECAUSE THE SPECIFIED DISTMETHOD IS 
         NOT HOTSTANDBY
