PI05778: REDUCE LOGREC ENTRIES WHEN CICS WOLA RUNS BUT WEBSPHERE IS DOWN

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Currently the 0D6 occurs during a BBOA1CNG or BBOA1RCA call.  In
this specific case, the return code from these services is RC=8
RSN=8, and an 0D6 LOGREC entry is produced.  As the same
connection repeatedly tries and fails to connect, because the
WebSphere daemon is unavailable (daemon had been previously
stopped), logrec records continue to be created which can create
a large volume of LOGREC records.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5                 *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A LOGREG entry for an 0D6 abend is      *
*                      produced every five seconds.            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA) link server will
attempt to re-connect to a WebSphere Application Server
instance every five seconds if that instance fails.  If the
WebSphere Application Server daemon process has also failed, or
is stopped, an 0D6 abend will occur during the reconnect
attempt, and a LOGREC entry will be written.  A reconnect
attempt is made every five seconds from the link server.  This
may cause an excessive amount of LOGREC data if the daemon
process is down for an extended period of time, or if there
are several link servers running concurrently.
The reconnect failure is also logged and reported by the link
server process, with a return and reason code.  There is no
additional value provided by the LOGREC entry in this case.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to prevent the WOLA link server from producing
repeated LOGREC entries for 0D6 abends when the daemon process
has failed.

APAR PI05778 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2 of WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS.
