The following problems are addressed in APAR PQ65206:

(MD13496) JDBC Connections and their associated prepared
statements should be cached to improve performance.

(MD14130) Support is needed to allow clients to pass a client
certificate on the SSL connection to the HTTP Transport.

(MD14131) Support is needed which provides additional
security/verification on HTTP SSL Transport connections.
This support should enforce that all SSL connections have
a client certificate and the user ID associated with that
client certificate has a certain SAF authority.

(MD14132) Support is needed which provides request level WLM
classification for HTTP Transport requests. This support
should allow the mapping of each HTTP request based on Host
and/or URI to a WLM Transaction Class.

(MD14133) Support is needed which provides request level network
connection management capability by interacting with the Network
QoS Policy support.  This should provide request level data to
TCP/IP for input to be used to map to the Network QoS Policy.

(MD14350) Applications that use DriverManager to obtain JDBC
connections instead of the preferred res-ref declaration and
java:comp lookup are not able to get any management of those
connections. Without management, it is possible for applications
to leak the valuable connections.
.
(MD14535) Abend0c4 rc11 (rsncode=11) in IRRRIU00 in loadmod
IRRRFR10 occurs in WebSphere application server server region.
The following messages can also appear in the application server
server region:
ICH409I 0C4-011 ABEND DURING IRRSIU00 PROCESSING.
ICH409I 0C4-011 ABEND DURING IRRSDU00 PROCESSING.
followed by an svc dump in csect IRRRDU00 with abend0C4-011.
This problem can also surface as
ICH409I 378-010 ABEND DURING IRRSDU00 PROCESSING.
followed by an svc dump with abend378 rsncode=10 in IRRRDU00
.
ACEE's are being re-used before being freed, resulting in 378
abend.  IRRSIA00 was being invoked with the RACF managed ACEE
option enabled. This caused RACF to distribute the save ACEE to
multiple threads. BPX1TLS is called to affix the ACEE to the
thread. This call frees the USP (USS chunk of the ACEE) and
recreates a new one. The 378 abend is caused by 2 threads
trying to free the same USP.
.
A temporary workaround is to uncheck the check box for "Enable
Setting OS Thread Identity to RunAS" in the Administration
Application (SM EUI) for the J2EE server experiencing the abend.
Depending on the application, RunAs may be a required setting
and this workaround may not be viable for a particular
application and thus for its server.

(WS13531) There is an increasing requirement to keep track of
principals used to authenticate users. Principals from non-SAF
registries are mapped to MVS userids, which are tracked through
SMF, but these other principals should also be kept track of,
including EJB Role names, Kerberos principals, etc. This
function needs to be added to the WebSphere for z/OS product.

(WS13685) Support is needed for CMP inheritance. Providing this
support will make the WebSphere for z/OS product compatible
with the CMP inheritance provided by WebSphere AE and will
enhance the portability of applications, making use of CMP
inheritance, from the WebSphere AE platform to the z/OS
platform.

(WS13953) Currently in WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for
z/OS and OS/390, there is no mechanism to allow users to
scriptify their J2EE applications for resolve processing and
other 390 specific operations. A tool should be delivered
which provides such functionality for users to optionally
bypass AAT usage if J2EE application is already properly
constructed by other application assembly tooling, as well as
providing scripting functionality support to resolve a J2EE
application without using System Management End User Interface
(Administration application), also known as the SM EUI.

(WS13954) Support is needed which allows the installation of EAR
files with the System Management End User Interface
(Administration application), also known as the SM EUI, coming
directly out of WSAD.

(WS14109.01) Support is needed for deploying applications
developed from within WebSphere Application Developer
Integration Edition (WSADIE) using the CICS or IMS J2EE
Connectors, and running these applications on the WebSphere
for z/OS platform.

(WS14136) There is a difference between the default visibility
mode in WebSphere AE and the default delegation mode in
WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.
The default mode for WebSphere AE is "Application Mode" while
in the WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390 product it is
"Compatibility Mode". WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for
z/OS and OS/390 should be modified to be compatible with
WebSphere AE.

(WS14137) When ClassLoader errors occur, they are difficult to
analyze by customers. Often the customer needed to turn on traci
to detect them. Additional diagnostics are needed in the
ClassLoader to enhance the serviceabiltiy of the WebSphere for
z/OS product.

(WS14153) Dynamic control of tracing is needed to enable debug o
problems without recycling the server.

(WS14230) This APAR delivers enhanced support for WebSphere DB2
datasource definitions.
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
APAR PQ65206 provides the following problem resolution:

(MD13496) WebSphere Container Managed Persistence (CMP)
Connection Pooling has been provided in the APAR. This support
aids in the management of CMP Bean performance. It does so by
caching and reusing both JDBC connections and prepared
statements, using a two-tier structure that pools prepared
statements with their corresponding connections. This support
runs in either of two selectable modes:  within transaction or
across transactions.

(MD14130) Support for client certificate capability to the HTTP
SSL Tranport support has been added to the WebSphere for z/OS
product. This support allows clients to pass a client
certificate on the SSL connection to the HTTP Transport.

(MD14131) Support has been provided for an additional level of
security/verification on HTTP SSL Transport connections.
This support will enforce that all SSL connections have a client
certificate and the user ID associated with that client
certificate has a certain SAF authority.

(MD14132) Support has been provided for request level WLM
classification for HTTP Transport requests. This enhancement
allows the mapping of each HTTP request based on Host and/or
URI to a WLM Transaction Class.  The mapping capability is
accomplished with a new configuration file.

(MD14133) Support has been provided for request level network
connection management capability by interacting with the
Network QoS Policy support.  This support provides request level
data to TCP/IP for input to be used to map to the Network QoS
Policy.

(MD14350) A java.sql.Driver provided by WebSphere is now
registered with the JDBC DriverManager.  This WebSphere JDBC
Driver will forward requests for connections to a DB2 DataSource
managed by WebSphere.  This will allow connection management to
interpose their wrappers.

(MD14535) Remove the RACF managed ACEE option on the
application server region IRRSIA00 calls.
.
(WS13531) Support was added to record the original authenticated
identity in the X500NAME field of the ACEE, along with a
"service name" indicating the authentication mechanism. This
information will be included in any future SMF records that may
be cut for this user. Code was also added to the EJB Role
authorization checks to enable SMF records to be cut for every
authorization check (once for a list of roles). This enables
control of auditing EJB role authorizations in SMF.

(WS13685) This APAR delivers support for CMP inheritance.
Providing this support makes the WebSphere for z/OS product
compatible with the CMP inheritance provided by WebSphere
AE and will enhance the portability of applications, making use
of CMP inheritance, from the WebSphere AE platform to the z/OS
platform.

(WS13953) A Direct Deployment tool has been provided which
contains scripting functionality for the deployment process of
WebApps as well as J2EE ear files. This tool will provide such
functionality for users to optionally bypass AAT usage if J2EE
application is already properly constructed by other application
assembly tooling, as well as providing scriptified ways to build
resolve a J2EE application without using SM EUI.

(WS13954) Support has been provided which allows the
installation of EAR files with the the System Management End
User Interface (Administration application), also
known as the SM EUI, coming directly out of WSAD.

(WS14109.01) Support has been provided for deploying
applications developed from within WebSphere Application
Developer Integration Edition (WSADIE) using the CICS or
IMS J2EE Connectors, and running these applications on the
WS/390 platform.  This allows developers using WSADIE to
develop J2EE application components which access back-end
resources such as CICS or IMS transactions.

Please note that applications which are developed using
the Service Flow tooling within WSADIE are not supported
and thus are not guaranteed to run on the WS/390 platform.
In other words, only simple services consisting of one
interaction with a back-end resource such as a CICS or IMS
transaction are supported on the WS/390 platform, while
composite services composed using the Service Flow tooling
are not supported.

Users of the IMS Connector for Java will need to install IMS
Connect APAR 
PQ65982 in order to run applications which are
developed within WSADIE using IMS Connector for Java.

(WS14136) In order to enhance the portability of WebSphere
AE applications to WebSphere for z/OS and OS/390, the
default delegation mode was changed to "Application Mode",
making it equivalent with WebSphere AE.

(WS14137) Additional diagnostic messages have been provided
for detecting ClassLoader problems. Audit messages will be
issued that provide actual information about the problem cause.
These will allow for quick ClassLoader problem resolution and
therefore improved service.

(WS14153) Dynamic control of tracing has been provided via the
modify command.

(WS14230) This APAR delivers enhanced support for WebSphere DB2
datasource definitions. Through the System Management End User
Interface (Administration application), also
known as the SM EUI, you can specify an optional SQLID value.
This SQLID value is then used to resolve unqualified table
references for SQL statements executed on connections acquired
from that datasource.

APAR PQ65206 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401400 of
WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.
