PI99088: CICS: WLMHEALTH=OFF CAN NOT BE OVERRIDEN BY A STARTUP OVERRIDE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the WLMHEALTH SIT parameter, WLMHEALTH=OFF is
  specified in the SIT and WLMHEALTH=(nn,nn) is specified as a
  Startup SIT override.  When the CICS region is restarted WARM,
  AUTO or EMERGENCY, the WLMHEALTH value specified in the SIT is
  taking precedence.
  .
  This is because when DFHPAGP tells MN domain which options have
  been specified, it is passing both the SIT value and the Startup
  override value.  DFHPAGP should negate the WLMHEALTH-OFF value
  from the SIT if numeric values are specified in the Overrides.

  ****************************************************************
  An Assembled SIT table has WLMHEALTH=OFF specified.
  CICS is started with a Startup Override of
  WLMHEALTH=(interval,adjustment).
  CICS accepts the interval and adjustment values but does not
  remove the WLMHEALTH=OFF setting.
  Subsequent attempts to change WLM Health settings with
  EXEC CICS SET WLMHEALTH receive EIBRESP=INVREQ and EIBRESP2=4,
  indicating that WLM Health can not be started because
  WLMHEALTH is set to OFF.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPASY has been changed to negate the WLMHEALTH OFF flag if
  an override with (interval,adjustment) has been specified.
