Error description

• Server fails to start when Coregroup "Transport Memory size" is
  set more than 256 MB
  
  The following exception is thrown when the Transport Memory size
  is set to 300

  The only restriction should be the Jav heap size. Java Heap size
  should be always more than the "Transport Memory Size" in
  other word the "Transport memory size can be set upto the JVM
  Max heap size.
  

Local fix

• Set the value less than 256 MB
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Coregroup Transport Memory Size         *
  *                      property cannot exceed 256 MB.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Transport Memory Size property is used to set both the
  transport memory size for the corestack as well as the data
  stack. The data stack memory size has a hard limit of 256 MB
  which you may want to exceed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The 256 MB restriction for the Data Stack Memory Size has been
  removed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.12, and 8.5.5.7  Please refer to the
