 Pagent QOS policies not purged message question

Hello,

I am enabling pagent on our systems for setting up ATTLS.  I have configured only ATTLS policy information.  I notice this message logged in the pagent STC upon shutdown even though I have not specifically configured any QOS policy information:

EZZ8774I PAGENT POLICIES NOT PURGED FOR INET : QOS

Is this message expected / always logged at pagent shutdown even without any specific QOS policy setup?  Or is there some action I should take to investigate further and address this?

Thank you,

Tracy

Message "EZZ8774I PAGENT POLICIES NOT PURGED FOR tcpImage: type" is written if the NOPURGE option is in effect - either configured or defaulted - on the TcpImage statement. The message is written for QOS even if QOS policies are not defined for the tcpImage. QOS was the first policy type implemented by z/OS and as such has some small differences in the way it can be configured/processed. So if you have NOPURGE in effect for your stack then the EZZ8774I message you are getting for QOS is expected.
The following are helpful references:
