****************************************************************
During server startup, it is calling an API which tried to
determine if the IM logs directory exists or not. However, if
the user has no read access to IM logs directory, ICH408I
warning message is shown.

Problem conclusion

The API is corrected such that it does not check if the IM log
directory exists or not on z/OS.

APAR PM86739 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere Application Server.
