    *                 restarted.  Note that the restarts do not    *
    *                 need to occur at the same time.              *
    ****************************************************************
    When the association between a WLMSPEC and a CICS system group
    is removed, the INHERIT parameter must be passed with the
    request to indicate whether the CICS systems associated with the
    group should continue to be associated with the WLMSPEC
    (INHERIT=KEEP) or should no longer be associated with the
    WLMSPEC (INHERIT=NONE).  Module DFHWUIPG does not support a
    parameter being passed for this request, which causes the
    request to fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHWUIPG has been updated to properly support the INHERIT
    parameter when a request is made through the Explorer to remove
    the association between a WLMSPEC and a CICS system group.
