IP Services: Update OMPROUTE configuration procedures for OMPROUTE_OPTIONS
Description
Before z/OS V2R1, the OMPROUTE_OPTIONS environment variable was used by OMPROUTE to set various controls for OMPROUTE processing and only the hello_hi option was supported. The hello_hi option optimized the processing of OSPF Hello packets in OMPROUTE to minimize the potential adjacency failures with neighbors.
Beginning with z/OS V2R1, the OMPROUTE_OPTIONS environment variable is ignored and will not be supported in a future release. The optimization function for OSPF Hello packets is always enabled
