APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using ENABLEASSERTIONS=ALL in Master JVM profile causes:

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JVM fails to start when the             *
  *                      ENABLEASSERTIONS option is used in      *
  *                      the master JVM profile (DFHJVMCC).      *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the ENABLEASSERTIONS option is used in the master
  JVM profile (DFHJVMCC) the JVM fails to start as the
  ENABLEASSERTIONS option has not been processed by CICS.
  DFHSJ0801 is output stating that the JVM failed to start.
  This only affects the master JVM profiles, other profiles
  pass the ENABLEASSERTIONS option to the JVM correctly.

                       DISABLEASSERTIONS
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been altered to process the ENABLEASSERTIONS,
  SYSTEMASSERTIONS, and DISABLEASSERTIONS options for master JVMs
  just as it does for other types.
