|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Turning on the ExtendedHandshake flag in the plugin-cfg.xml, will cause the request to hang in the plugin. This is due to incorrect encoding on the ExtendedHandshake request sent from the plugin to the application server.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Turning on the ExtendedHandshake flag * * in the plugin-cfg.xml, will cause the * * request to hang in the plugin. This * * is due to incorrect encoding on the * * ExtendedHandshake request sent from * * the plugin to the application server. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The extendedRequest variable value is a hard-coded literal string. When used in non-z/OS platforms hard-coding a literal is ok, but, when the code is moved to the z/OS platform the literal string is translated from ascii to ebcdic. The request hangs because the request is ebcdic rather than ascii as required.Problem conclusion Changed the variable value from a literal string to an ascii code string which gets around the translation issue. Also rolled the WebSphere Distributed APAR PQ84794 which is required for this functionally to work. APAR PQ91841 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502016 of WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
