DB2 Connect ACR message when ACR is not configured(RIMS)

This customer finds it is inappropriate for DB2 Connect to log the following ACR (Automatic Client Reroute) message: ADM2508I Client Reroute successful. Hostname/IP Address: hostname/IP address and Service name/Port number: service name/port number. when there is no ACR defined. This message is logged only because DB2 Connect is re-establishing a connection for the connection pool. This message is very misleading and leads customers to believe something went wrong. The customer would like either this message removed when this scenario occurs or the message changed with an appropriate description. Please read PMR page 124 and up from PMR 77645,017,649.
