****************************************************************
These FFDC entries may appear on z/OS on cell profiles where
WebSphere Virtual Member Manager (VMM) is enabled.  These
errors occur because cell profiles have extra Group and User
entries in audit-authz.xml.  A stack trace similar to the one
below may appear in the FFDC entries:

Problem conclusion

The code has been fixed to remove the Group and User entries
from audit-authz.xml for cell profiles. This prevents the FFDC
entries.

APAR PK94467 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (7.0.0.7)  of WebSphere
