Error description
A Vitria client running on a Windows 2000 workstation receives
SYSTEM_EXCEPTION IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE with minor code
-910028471 when interoperating with EJBs running on WebSphere
for z/OS version 5.0. The minor code displayed in the client log
is a decimal representation of minor code C9C21149. This minor
code was sent by the WebSphere for z/OS appserver controller
region on an _is_a request from the client to the z/OS server.
  The controller region trace contains error message
BBOO0118E Function gethostbyname() for hostname ...........
failed with RV=0, RC=1, RSN=00000000, [EDC5001I A domain error
occurred. (errno2=0x0594003D)
The hostname ........... contains garbage characters that, when
viewed in hex, represent the workstation IP address in dotted
decimal form encoded in ASCII.
This gethostbyname() failure causes message
BBOO0044E Internal communications error: REASON=C9C20C30
to be issued which is converted to a
CORBA::COMM_FAILURE with minor code C9C21149 which is the error
returned to the client.

****************************************************************
Reading an OTS transaction or recovery coordinator IOR
marshalled by a little endian client incorrectly attributed the
EBCDIC code set to the marshalled IOR contents.
When locating the object described by the IOR, the invalid
EBCDIC codeset attribution leads to a mistranslated hostname,
which subsequently fails in gethostbyname():

BBOO0118E Function gethostbyname() for hostname ...........
failed with RV=0, RC=1, RSN=00000000,  EDC5001I A domain error
occurred. (errno2=0x0594003D)

The hostname ........... contains garbage characters that, when
viewed in hex, represent the workstation IP address in dotted
decimal form encoded in ASCII.

This gethostbyname() failure causes message
BBOO0044E Internal communications error: REASON=C9C20C30
to be issued which is converted to a CORBA::COMM_FAILURE with
minor code C9C21149 which is the error returned to the client.
Problem conclusion
IORs used in OTS Service Context are demarshalled with the
correct codeset.
