Error description
S0C4 in CredentialTimer::activate() during control region
initialization causes server to fail to start.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server *
* V6.0.1 for z/OS *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 in *
* CredentialTimer::activate at offset *
* +0xC6 during server init. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
During server initialization, the security service creates a
timer to help manage the CSIv2 stateful session tables. This
timer is referenced when outbound requests are made from the
controller, but the outbound requests may be created during
initialization before the timer has been created.
The code that references the timer assumed that the security
timer had been initialized and followed a bad pointer. The S0C4
ABEND was a direct result of following that pointer.
Problem conclusion
The pointer to the credential timer was initialized to NULL
during DLL static init and all users of the timer now check for
a non-NULL pointer prior to using the timer. This change
prevents the S0C4 ABEND from occurring during server
initialization.
APAR PK40855 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.0.2.21 of WebSphere Application Server V6.0.1
for z/OS.
