Error description This APAR addresses defects in WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: APAR PQ77021 addresses various defects * * in WebSphere Application Server V5.0 * * for z/OS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** APAR PQ77021 addresses the following defects in WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS: (MD17356) Support is needed to handle new parameters passed by the addNode batch job in the Node federation utility. The following additional parameters have to be set in the node agent configuration by the Node federation utility. short name, soap port, orb listener port, orb SSL listener port, discovery port, multicast discovery port, DRS client port. (MD17367) In the administrative console, if you navigate to: Environment > Virtual Hosts > default host > Host Aliases collection view. Click NEW button. The help panel says that Host Name default is *. But it comes up <blank> in the panel. In addiiton, PORT needs integer and range validity check. (MD17381) In the administative console, if you navigate to: System Administration > Cell or System Administration > Nodes > <a-node>, the shortName field should be read-only. The shortName field is editable in the above 2 panels. (MD17406) Users can not log onto the administrative console after configuring and changing the registry to LDAP or custom user registry using the server id/pass word. The user will get a page not found error returned to their browser. When LDAP or custom user registry is selected the code is using the role based authorizer when it was supposed to use the null implementation. (MD17412) In the administrative console, in an ND environment, if you navigate to Security --> Global Security, in the select list of Active Authentication Mechanism, the choice of SWAM should not be allowed. (MD17419) Transformer produces messages in English only. Japanese messages should be made available. Also, NodeAgent message for restarting servers needs to be translated. (MD17422) The current default JVM heap size is 48M for an application server region. This is not enough for some applications. Applications being migrated from WebSphere V4.0.1 may expect the same default as WebSphere V40.1. The default size WebSphere V4.0.1 was 256M. This should be the default size in WebSphere v5.0 for z/OS as well. (MD17432) When a customer creates a configured binding to link an object in a cluster, the URL contained in that binding contains the wrong protocol and any lookups on that binding will fail. (MD17437) Transaction service PMI counters are not updated. During server initialization, the transaction service fails to initialize the PMI metric collectors for transactions. Without this initialization, the PMI service does not register the appropriate callbacks to process transaction service events. (MD17440) In the administative console, if you navigate to: Environment > Manage WebSphere Variables collection view. The collection view should not show the WebSphere z/OS internal system variables that are prefixed with WAS_DAEMON_ or WAS_SERVER_ONLY_. The configuration for these system variables should be done through webui.zos panels, such as z/OS Location Service configuration view. (MD17444) Method PortableRemoteObject.narrow() throws a ClassCastException when narrowing a stub that has been returned by a local invocation due to an incorrectly assigned servant object. (MD17470) BBOT_TransactionManager_CR::begin method, bbottmcr.cpp set the wrong BBOTTMCR_Footprint flag (bbottmcr.cpp) used in managing internal transaction locks. A SystemException was thrown by the BOA for minor code C9C21210 from the invocation of context_to_gtid_row(), bbooboat.cpp. The OTS object scoped recovery that depends on the proper setting of flags in the footprint mentioned above, allowed the exit from the BBOT_TransactionManager_CR::begin() routine without releasing a lock. This resulted in a lock hierarchy violation within the OTS Component (C9C218B1) (MD17322) When ATRFGT fails with RC=370 the controller hangs attempting to terminate itself. The server termination is held up because an RRS unregister has not been done. (MD17492) ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 in module BBOCASYD in the daemon address space during comm_daemon_locate. A server was attempting to contact another server on another system and the comm_daemon_locate failed. The reason for the failure was a corrupted cpool element. A cpool element was returned to the pool by module BBOCLCLR with an invalid address. This invalid address was obtained and used later, which caused an ABEND 0x0C4 in module BBOCASYD. (PQ63654) The "WebSphere for z/OS Customization" dialog panels currently supports data set names of up to 42 characters. It should be able to handle upto 44 characters.Problem conclusion APAR PQ77021 fixes various defects in WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS. (MD17356) The Node federation utility code was modified to handle the additional parameter settings. (MD17367) Set the default value for the Hostname to "*" and added the validation rules to check for integer and value range for the Port field in the HostAliasDetailForm. (MD17381) Support has been modified such that the shortName field read-only on the cell detail view and the node detail view. (MD17406) Code was modified to use the null implementation of the role based authorizer when LDAP or custom user registry is the selected registry. (MD17412) In the administative console, for the ND environment, support has been modified to remove the choice of SWAM from the select list of Active Authentication Mechanism in the Global Security panel. (MD17419) Transformer messages(BBOJ0053 through BBOJ0067) have been translated to Japanese, along with the Nodeagent message for server restart. (MD17422) The dialog skeletons bbowsera and bbowserd will be updated to set the initalHeapSize and maximumHeapSize to be 256. (MD17432) Code was updated so that the correct protocol is placed in the bindings URL. (MD17437) The transaction service component startup has been updated to make the appropriate initialization calls to the PMI service. (MD17440) Code has been added to the controller for the view to remove all the environment variables that are prefixed with WAS_DAEMON_ or WAS_SERVER_ONLY_. (MD17444) The setting of the servant object has been correct so that the type-checking code could properly recognize the narrowed stub. (MD17470) Code has been modified in BBOT_TransactionManager_CR::begin() to correct the erroneous setting of a flag in the footprint object. (MD17322) Code added such that we deregister as a resource manager with RRS before we abend the main thread. (MD17492) Code was added to verify that the cpool elements returned by module BBOCLCLR are valid. (PQ63654) Dialog file will be updated such that data set names are allowed to have upto 44 characters instead of 42 characters. APAR PQ77021 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W500103 of WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
