APAR PQ96300 addresses the following defect in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD20402) After SMP/E installing multiple PTF service levels,
the post installer takes a long time complete. This is mainly
due to the Administrative Console application being re-installed
for every service level that has pending post install actions.

(MD20489) MBean processing can leak 800 byte blocks of heap
storage. The storage will contain the stokens for the active
servant regions.

(MD20565) If an RRS-transactional JDBC Connection obtained from
the WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter is used in an
environment without a Transaction Context (for example, a thread
spawned by a web application) and if getAutoCommit() is called
on this Connection, a java.lang.NullPointerException will be
thrown to the application.

This NullPointerException will not show up in any WebSphere logs
before being thrown to the application, therefore the location
of this error will depend on how the application catches and
displays exceptions.

(MD20567) A request to invoke an object in the application
server failed with the following exception:
org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL: Unable to read value from underlying
bridge.

The client's partner version minor value is not being
processed correctly.
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ96300 fixes the following defect in WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS.

(MD20402) Reduce the number of times the Administrative Console
application is re-installed during post install to the minimum
necessary.

(MD20489) Code has been modified to fix the leak.

(MD20565) Calls to getAutoCommit() using an RRS-transactional
Connection will now succeed whether or not there is a
Transaction Context on the thread.

(MD20567) The code is updated to handle the client's partner
version minor value correctly.

APAR PQ96300 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502017 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
