Error description
A lot of the things in the CICS default Profiles are based on old JVM settings. Some of them still work, but aren't the best way to do things today. For example, JAVA_DUMP_OPTS is deprecated and has been (for the most part) replaced by the -Xdump option. There are other parameters that need updating as well.
