TCP/IP leaves the group EZBTCPCS with the message *EZZ9676E and It is not able to rejoin it again.

After a lack of ECSA in a member of a 4-way sysplex, TCP/IP leaves it with the message *EZZ9676E and It is not able to rejoin the XCF group again.
Even when we have GLOBALCONFIG SYSPLEXMONITOR AUTOREJOIN options active and the problem that caused the stack to leave the group EZBTCPCS is corrected, the stack is not able to rejoin the TCP/IP sysplex group.
