  ****************************************************************
  1. Error messages appear under zAware error conditions
     each time zAware data collection is driven.
  2. The IXG231I message appears each time zAware data
     collection is driven.
  3. The zAware data collection routine was not properly
     freeing storage.
  4. zAware credentials management SPUFIL not supported.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. Suppress the zAware data collection routine error messages
     in the RKLVLOG.  The messages will be reported when tracing
     is activated and the user interfaces to OMEGAMON zAware
     reporting will indicate a problem is outstanding.
  2. The message will not appear if APAR OA41313 is installed
     on the z/OS system.  However, if this APAR is not installed
     then this message should only appear once for the life
     of the data collection address space(TEMS).
  3. Corrective action has been taken to fix this storage leak.
  4. Remove zAware credentials management SPUFIL.
