APAR PQ74011 addresses the following problems in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD16888) ServerPac customers installing WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS V5.0 will experience link edit errors when
running the generated CALLLINK job. When running the generated
CALLLINK job, the link edit step which attempts to link edit
LMOD BBOSMS will generate a return code value of 12. The link
edit error messages associated with the failing step for LMOD
BBOSMS are as follows:

  IEW2303E 1030 MEMBER BBOSMS OF THE DATA SET
           SPECIFIED BY SMPLTS COULD NOT BE FOUND.
  IEW2230S 0414 MODULE HAS NO TEXT.
  IEW2648E 5111 ENTRY CEESTART IS NOT A CSECT
           OR AN EXTERNAL NAME IN THE MODULE.
  IEW2677S 5130 A VALID ENTRY POINT COULD NOT
           BE DETERMINED.
  IEW2617I 4C43 DEFINITION SIDE FILE IS EMPTY.
           THERE ARE NO SYMBOLS TO BE EXPORTED.
  IEW2850I F920 BBOSMS HAS BEEN SAVED WITH AMODE
           24 AND RMODE  24.  ENTRY POINT NAME IS **NULL**
  IEW2231I 0481 END OF SAVE PROCESSING.
  IEW2617I 4C43 DEFINITION SIDE FILE IS EMPTY.
           THERE ARE NO SYMBOLS TO BE EXPORTED.

These messages can be ignored. WebSphere's performance and
functions are not affected.  LMOD BBOSMS is no longer required.

(MD16968) Customers can receive errors marshalling value types
to non-WAS servers/clients. org.omg.CORBA.Marshal exceptions, or
other problems involving reading marshalled value types will
occur on the non-WAS server/client system. PartnerVersion
initialization causes incorrect values to be passed into the
parameter marshalling engine.

Also, "Unknown System Exception" messages can be received when
trying to demarshal a reply containing a system exception. This
results becaused SystemException reply bodies include the wrong
exception id.

(MD16991) A java.security.AccessControlException is received
when loading a WebSphere runtime class. This problem occurs
when an application did a CORBA ORB.init. The exception happens
because most runtime classes are not allowed to be accessed by
application classes directly. The class involved was missed as
one that application should have access too.

(MD17001) In local mode, a ClassCastException can be received
when attempting to load a stub that is derived from another
stub.  This is due to the fact that a less-derived version
(a superclass) of the stub has been loaded  and cached in the
wrapper.

(MD17071) Remote non-WebSphere Application Server fails with an
UNKNOWN/MARSHAL exception and details about being unable to
demarshal value from stream. Parse of inbound fragment
containing no data fails, causing MARSHAL exception with
minor code C9C20CFA.

The exact failure depends on remote server implementation,
the failure indicates an inability to demarshal parameter
data sent on an initial request from WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS due to incorrect assumptions for initial
PartnerVersion values. Also, an incorrect length calculation
expected the length field of GIOP message to include the length
of the GIOP header for fragment messages (which it does not).
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ74011 provides the following problem resolution:

(MD16888) Support has been modified to remove LMOD BBOSMS from
the product.

(MD16968) PartnerVersion initialization has been corrected to
correctly initialize values in the absence of a PartnerVersion
service context.

Also, SystemException marshalling code changed to correctly
include the repository id as specified in the CORBA
specification.

(MD16991) Support has been modified to added the COBRA ORB.init
class to the exception list so it could be accessed by the
application.

(MD17001) Support has been modified to always load and cache the
most derived version of the stub.

(MD17071) Support has been modified to correct the  initial
PartnerVersion values for outbound requests. Also, the length
check for fragment messages has been corrected.

APAR PQ74011 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W500004 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
