PQ61466: ADD STEP TO INSTRUCTIONS TO IGNORE A03 ABENDS IN WEBSPHERE DAEMON, BBODMN

APAR status
Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description
During the normal shutdown or stop of the WebSphere Daemon
address space, BBODMN, sometimes abendA03 is observed in
the Daemon address space.  When a stop is issued to the
Daemon, the Daemon will issue a stop to all control regions
who then issue the stop to all their related server regions.
Then the control region waits for all its server regions to
come down.  The server region waits for all work on its
threads to complete.  Once all work is done in the server
region, the server region terminates and notifies its control
region it is going away.  When the last server region for a
control region ends, the control region ends, notifying the
Daemon it is doing so.  The Daemon waits for all control
regions to end.  When the last control region goes away, the
Daemon brings itself down.  Upon Daemon termination is when
the A03 abend occurs.  The reason for this is when the Daemon
came up, WLM attached a thread which sits there in a loop for
the life of the Daemon.  WebSphere currently does not have a
way to tell this thread it's no longer needed when we start
termination process because we don't know it's there.  We
would need WLM to give us such a way.
.
This APAR is intended to provide a step in the Instructions
provided by the WebSphere Customization Dialog to provide set
up to ignore the A03 until the WLM requirement is completed.
This step would be to add a slip to the IEASLPxx member to
ignore A03 abends that occur in the Daemon address space.
Without this in place, an svc dump could be created during
Daemon shutdown for a know condition, taking up unneccessary
system resources to process the svc dump and implying it is
a problem to be concerned about.
.
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
.
where BBODMN should be substituted for the proc customized
by the customer.
Local fix
Add the following to the IEASLPxx member:
SLIP SET,C=A03,ID=XA03,J=BBODMN,A=NODUMP,END
.
where BBODMN should be substituted for the proc customized
by the customer.
