****************************************************************
In the event of a system failure, customers would like to
configure ARM (and/or an automation product of their choice) to
restart, on another (healthy) system in the same SYSPLEX,
WebSphere servers that were running on the failed system.  The
goal of this restart is to resolve any in-doubt transactions
that may have been active at the time of failure.

Several issues with the run-time infrastructure would not allow
this restart to take place.
Problem conclusion
If a WebSphere for z/OS server is started on a system to which
it was not explicitly configured, it will place itself into peer
restart and recovery mode.  While in peer restart and recovery
mode, a server will perform transaction service restart to
provide outcomes to RRS and other OTS subordinates in the
distributed transaction tree.

In the event of communication errors that prevent restart
from completing, diagnostic messages are written that contain
enough information for customers to correct the connectivity
problems, or to manually resolve the transaction branch with
RRS.  Once the restart and recovery is complete, the server will
stop itself and terminate gracefully.

A server in peer restart and recovery mode will not take on any
new work.  This restriction is designed to minimize the impact
of CPU and storage requirements of server regions used to handle
new requests.

For information about the peer restart and recovery support
provided in this APAR, a separate document, entitled
"WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390: Peer
restart and recovery" is available for this APAR. To download
the document, go to the following Web site, then click "Product
information."

At a later time, the information in this document will be
integrated into the WebSphere for z/OS formal publications.
