Error description
For applications written in Pascal (e.g. SMTP), when Dist. Method=serverWLM is coded, target stacks use BaseWLM instead, as seen on VDPT display for given DVIPA port. A dump of the distributor will show this: DistMethod = ServerWLM DistActive = BaseWLM This is caused by have incorrectly assigning value to the token that represents the WLM weight of that ASID (tcbext_as_stoken) - see EZBTCNET. This problem happens with SHAREPORT is coded.
Local fix
Delete SHAREPORT port reference.
