PQ79220: CELL SHORT NAME MUST BEGIN WITH ALPHABETIC OR NATIONAL CHARACTER AND NOT ALPHA-NUMERIC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Because WebSphere uses the cell short name as the name for the CTRACE DEFINE as well as other places, according to the CTRACE rules, the name must begin with an alphabetic first character (or a national character). For example, "1111" may not be used but "a111" could be used. . This apar will enforce this in the Customization Dialog and wherever else in WebSphere it needs to be enforced. . When the cell short name begins with an alphanumeric character the Daemon will abend with abend 000D with reason 00000201 in R15 when the Daemon is started for the first time. . From the dump, the cell short name can be found as the daemon group name (DMNGRPNM) field in the BGVT. It can also be seen in the was.env as variable WAS_DAEMON_daemon_group_name. Also in the Customization Dialog as "cell short name". . A slip may need to be set on the abend 000D to obtain the dump but a dump is not required for verification of this problem as the was.env file or Customization Dialog can be used for verification.Local fix Select the cell short name to begin with an alphabetic or national character, regenerate the Customization Dialog jobs, and rerun the jobs to redo the customization.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cell short name must begin with * * alphabetic or national character and * * not numeric. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** WebSphere uses the cell short name as the name for the CTRACE DEFINE as well as other places, according to the CTRACE rules, the name must begin with an alphabetic first character (or a national character). For example, "1111" may not be used but "a111" could be used. When the cell short name begins with an numeric character the Daemon will abend with ABEND00D/ABENDS00D-00000201 when the Daemon is started for the first time. The cause for this is that the current dialog code did not enforce that short names begin with alphabetic or national characters.Problem conclusion To correct this, the WebSphere for z/OS Customization dialog will be updated to enforce that cell, node and server short names must begin with alphabetic or national character and not numeric. APAR PQ79220 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502000 of WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
