IT31739: SSL CHECKTYPE OPTION IS NOT A SUPPORTED FEATURE FOR MQSICVP COMMAND

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is trying to use an undocumented feature.
  
  KC link
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTTDS_11.0.0/co
  m.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bn07236_.html) supports benchmark as
  checktype option. SSL is not a supported option. But Command
  line help of mqsicvp missed this update and shows SSL as
  supported option so We will take an APAR to correct message
  from the command line help message.
