    ****************************************************************
    The embedded CICS TS Liberty JVM server requires an upgrade of
    WebSphere Liberty to version 20.0.0.9.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CICS TS has been updated to use a Liberty JVM server that is
    based on WebSphere Liberty version 20.0.0.9.
    
    CICS TS 5.3 and higher have also been updated such that CICS
    will configure Liberty with an additional default setting of
    <applicationManager autoExpand="true"/> which will be documented
    in the CICS TS Knowledge Centers.
    
    This setting causes application file archives to be
    automatically expanded into the ${server.config.dir}/apps
    directory on first use.  This avoids expansion of file archives
    into the Liberty work area on server startup, reducing zFS file
    I/O and making more efficient use of the Java shared class
    cache. If you wish to override this setting and switch it off,
    then you should place the XML element: <applicationManager
    autoExpand="false"/> in your server.xml file.
    
    IBM is required to provide you with certain notices and other
    information regarding third party components, included by this
    APAR and obtained as part of IBM WebSphere Liberty 20.0.0.9.
