PQ66328: A03 ABEND WHEN SHUTTING DOWN WEBSPHERE DAEMON | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
APAR status Closed as documentation error. Error description When the daemon, bbodmn, is shut down an A03 abend occurs. This is due to the fact that a WLM thread is started when the daemon starts, but is not terminated with the daemon. Since it is hanging around, the A03 abend is issued with a dump. In the customer's view, a product should not take an abend and/or dump upon termination, even if it is documented as as expected. WLM accepted APAR OW56785 which provides an interface that the daemon can use to end the WLM thread during termination flows. WebSphere for z/OS has APAR PQ73492, which will ship to exploit the new interface added by WLM. . Both fixes must be installed in order for the WLM thread to be ended before the daemon shuts down. The purpose of APAR PQ66328 is to revise the documentation to remove references to the SA03 ABENDs which will no longer occur as a result of these changes.Local fix The step to add to the instructions would be to have customers add the following to the IEASLPxx member: SLIP SET,C=A03,ID=XA03,J=BBODMN,A=NODUMP,END This slip will suppress the dump, but the abend will still appear.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WebSphere for z/OS: Operations and * * Administration publication should be * * updated to include information about * * WLM APAR OW56785. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WebSphere for z/OS: Operations and Administration publication curently doesn't account for WLM APAR OW56785. Will change it to do so.Problem conclusion A change to V4.0.1 WebSphere for z/OS: Operations and Administration, SA22-7835-05, will appear in the next refresh of the documentation. To access the latest online documentation, go to the product library page at: www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library/ The change is to Chapter 3, page 30, which now reads: ________________________________________________________________ 2. Stop the Daemon on each system in the sysplex (or cancel if it takes too long). This must be done from the MVS console. The Daemon brings down Systems Management which, in turn, brings down Naming, IR, and all other control regions. Note: If WLM APAR OW56785 is not installed on your system and you stop the Daemon, you may receive an A03 abend and dump in your Daemon address space. This, however, does not impair the stop.Temporary fix Comments
