Resolving The Problem

The following message is being sent as a break message to all workstations: CPP8987 - *Attention* A critical system hardware problem has occurred.

This document explains how this can this be prevented.

The Change Service Attributes (CHGSRVA) command has a parameter called critical messages to user that specifies which class of user is to get the critical messages. The default is *SYSOPR, *SECOFR, *SECADM, *PGMR, *USER. This says that users whose user profile is any one of these user classes will receive the message. This can be changed to meet specific system requirements.
