  *                      available on a server, and you          *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The runtime bundles required for the Modern Batch
  functionality mentioned in the Problem Description are not
  being started when runtime provisioning is enabled on the
  server hosting the Job Scheduler.  This prevents configuration
  of the Job Scheduler and use of this function.
  

Problem conclusion

• The jar files which indicate which runtime services should
  start, have been updated to indicate that the necessary
  services start properly with runtime provisioning enabled.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
