Rex, based on the CWWKE messages, it looks like a Java runtime issue, though it could be an expired certificate or a memory constraint issue. You can check the certificate by issuing a RACF command LISTUSER IZUKeyring.* all or LISTUSER IZUKeyring.IZUDFLT.ALL and see what you get. To check your Java version, go to USS. The default directory is /usr/lpp/java/"java version" though it looks like you're running J8.0_64.
