PQ81881: NO MESSAGES ARE ISSUED WHEN THE HTTP TRANSPORT INPUT BUFFER HAS BEEN EXCEEDED WHILE INSTALLING AN APPLICATION FOR WEBSPHERE V5.0

 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Attempting to install an application that is greater than 10m
may cause a failure. This scenario had originally been addressed
via APAR 
PQ74709, however this only addressed the output buffer
of the HTTP Transport function within WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS v5.0. 
PQ74709 did not address the input buffer.
When a response is larger than 10m, a message is issued like the
following:
BBOO0167E Servant process could not send request/response
because length of message (19645199) exceeded maximum (1085760).
This message is not issued when the input buffer length is
exceeded. The current behavior is that no message is issued in
the servant region joblog, and the browser will display a
'Document contains no data' message.
Local fix
Applications may still be deployed that are larger than 10m,
but the HTTP Transport buffer size needs to be adjusted. This
setting is
protocol_http_large_data_inbound_buffer
details can be found in the WebSphere InfoCenter at

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/index.jsp?deplo
yment=zos
under the document 'Setting custom properties for an HTTP
transport'.
.
This setting should be set as an environment variable
rather than a custom property.  See 
PQ82081 for more
information.

****************************************************************
Customer exceeded the HTTP input buffer when trying to install
a large application.  The request failed but the server did not
issue an error log entry indicating why, unlike when the HTTP
output buffer is exceeded.
Problem conclusion
Issue an error log entry indicating that the HTTP request
exceeded the HTTP input buffer size.
