Error description
After applying PH66032, JVMSERVERs with PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=TRUE in their JVMPROFILE fail to enable. When attempting to be enabled, an 0C4 abend occurs and the following can be observed in the CICS job log: DFHSJ0216 A call to CELQPIPI with function code INIT_SUB has failed. (Return code - X'00000000' ). DFHSJ0210 IYCKZCEI An attempt to start a JVM for the JVMSERVER resource <JVMSERVER> has failed. Reason code: ENCLAVE_INIT_FAILED. This is caused by the following protection exception: CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4). From entry point printHeader at compile unit offset +000000003457CE18 at entry offset +0000000000014960 at address 000000003457CE18. The CEEDUMP then demonstrates that an exception was thrown in printHeader: 6 printHeader +0000E9B8 DFHSJSCL Exception
Local fix
Setting PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=FALSE in the JVMPROFILE will circumvent the issue.
