Cause

Configuration file application.yml file has syntax issues

Resolution

After reviewing the application.yml and comparing it with the one that works, the issue was found, the z/OSMF section has a missing '---' at the beginning. The nature of the issue is YAML syntax, those 3 dashes are used to split logical documents. In SYSVAPPS it is used to separate the SYSVIEW REST API part of configuration dn z/OSMF. 

When it's missing SYSVAPPS will ignore the whole application.yml.  

# z/OSMF configuration options
