PQ57383: QUERY EVALUATOR TEST OF MOFW IVP (BBOIVP) FAILS WHEN CORBA IVP SERVER IS NOT NAMED BBOASR1

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
The MOFW IVP code has CORBA server name BBOASR1 hardcoded as the
default.  The Customization Dialogs do not set up the value for
the customized CORBA IVP server name in the BBOIVP job.  As a
result, even though the customer configured a CORBA server name
other than BBOASR1, BBOASR1 is used. The query evaluator test
of BBOIVP fails because the MOFW IVP code looks for a default
query evaluator on server BBOASR1, which does not exist in this
case, rather than looking for it on the server name the customer
defined.
Local fix
In Step 1 of BBOIVP, IVP1, there is a PARM=('timeout=500'),
change this to PARM=('timeout=500 serverMYASR1') where MYASR1 is
the name of the CORBA server the customer configured.  Similarly
in Step 2 of BBOIVP there is a PARM=('java timeout=500'), change
this to PARM=('java timeout=500 serverMYASR1').  Note that there
is no equal sign between "server" and "MYASR1".  The test that
was failing is run under both job steps (step 1 as C++ objects
and step 2 as Java BO objects) so you'll need the change in both
places.
.
In the job output of BBOIVP, you should now see:
Parsing input options:
Option.1. = 'timeout=500'
Timeout value is 500 seconds.
Option.2. = 'serverMYASR1'
Server Name specified 'MYASR1'

****************************************************************
The "WebSphere for z/OS Customization" Dialog does not set up
the value for the customized CORBA IVP server name in the BBOIVP
job.  As a result, user configured CORBA server name other than
BBOASR1 is not used in the BBOIVP job.  The solution is to
change the BBOIVP job's PARMs to include the user configured
CORBA server name.  The "WebSphere for z/OS Customization"
Dialog needs to be changed in such a way that it will set up
BBOIVP job with the user configured CORBA server name other
than BBOASR1.
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
This APAR is being closed FIN with concurrence from the
submitting customer. A solution to this problem will be
delivered in a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
and OS/390 release within the next 18 month.
