Environment

Release : 4.0

Cause

ZOWE STC sysout shows:

_CEE_RUNOPTS=XPLINK(ON),HEAPPOOLS(ON) ENVAR("_CEE_ENVFILE=DD:STDENV") POS(ON) FILET(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG).

 

Resolution

Update DD STDENV in ZWESLSTC STC and set HEAPPOOLS OFF.

For example:

//STDENV   DD  *
_CEE_ENVFILE_CONTINUATION=\
_CEE_RUNOPTS=HEAPPOOLS(OFF),HEAPPOOLS64(OFF)
CONFIG=/etc/zowe.yaml
/*

 

Additional Information

if I am starting ZOWE via OMVS ZWE START -c </Path>, where the HEAPPOOLS(OFF) param should fit ?

The zwe start command is reading the config yaml file and it will start the STC for zowe, HEAPPOOLS(OFF) only needs to be added to the STC (ZOWE STDENV).
