Issue/Introduction

Why is CAWVHOME not getting resolved?  .. hardcoding the path works fine but I prefer not to do that.

OFF StatusLogger Logging configured from /cai/CADeploy/webviewer/tomcat/CAWVHOME/config/log4j2.xml.

Environment

z/OS USS

Cause

The CAWVHOME variable must be defined as an environment (env:) variable and not a system (sys:) one. 

Resolution

replace ${sys:CAWVHOME} with ${env:CAWVHOME}
