    ****************************************************************
    The dynacache service maintains a collection of cache instance
    configurations.  Access to the collection is not thread safe
    and could result in a ConcurrentModificationException if
    multiple threads are creating cache instances simultaneously.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The collection that houses the cache instance configurations
    has been changed to a thread safe collection.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the
