IZ89805: MESSAGES WRITTEN TO SYSLOG WHEN -XLOG:NONE ENABLED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: -Xlog:none is supposed to stop messages being
  written to the syslog however, on AIX,
  messages are written to syslog with -Xlog:none enabled.
  .
  This issue can be reproduced  by running the following java
  command, which shows dump messages generated with the JVM stops:
  $ ./java -Xdump:java:events=vmstop -Xlog:none -version
  .
  Then check the system log to see the JVMDUMP032I message wrongly
  printed there too.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused when the JVM writes a message to the
  syslog, despite -Xlog:none being specified.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to respect the -Xlog:none option, and
  not write message to the syslog when it is specified.
  .
  This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR12 FP3
