  ****************************************************************
  When using WebSphere Optimized Local adapters and connecting to
  CICS 5.5 the message "The current CICS level 0505 is not
  supported" is printed in the CICS joblog. The message may be
  prefixed by the string "WOLA TRACE 0" or "CWWKB8000I" depending
  on whether or not the WOLA message catalog is configured in
  CICS.  Processing in CICS will continue using the WOLA libraries
  that were linked against CICS TS 5.4.  It is recommended that
  you apply this APAR to ensure compatibility with CICS TS 5.5.
  

Problem conclusion

• Add support to WOLA for CICS 5.5.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 19.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• Most applications will continue to run despite the message
  indicating that the version of CICS is not supported.  However
  it is recommended that you install this APAR to ensure
  compatibility.
