An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will occur after approximately
ten configuration changes and is seen in the log as:
 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at
 com.ibm.management.util.zos.trans.Config2NativeTransformer.
 $TransformerThread.run(Config2NativeTransformer.java:255)
Problem conclusion
The transformer has been corrected to prevent an out of bounds
exception.  Also, the default value for
com.ibm.websphere.management.zos.transform.threadPoolDisable is
changed from false to true.  With this change, the transformer
will be single-threaded by default.

APAR PK12472 requires changes to documentation.

NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our
Web site, so the following change might have been made before
you read this text. To access the latest on-line
documentation, go to the product library page at:


http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library

Because the default value of the Disable thread pool custom
property has changed from false to true, the description of
the Disable thread pool custom property contained in the
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V5.0
Information Center article "Repository service custom
properties on z/OS systems" will be updated.

Disable thread pool

Disables the use of a thread pool when the transformer code
runs. The transformer code generates the was.env file, the
control.jvm.options file, the servant.jvm.options file, and the
trace.dat file.

Specify the property and the value as a name-value pair on the
Repository service custom properties panel of the administrative
console:

Property:
com.ibm.websphere.management.zos.transform.threadPoolDisable

Values: true or false
Default true
