APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The check to see if a distributed activity context is involved
in a loop back request does not allow for multiple active
requests.  This results in the property group from being added
to an index greater than the array size.


This can result in the following error...

****************************************************************
The check to see if a distributed activity context is involved
in a loop back request does not allow for multiple active
requests.  This results in the property group from being added
to an index greater than the array size.

There are two scenarios that we are aware of whereby multiple
active requests could be handled at the same time.



1. If Server A makes a request to Server B, then as part of
the activity on Server B a request is made to Server A. Now on
Server A there will be two active requests that could be
processed at the same time.



2. If there is an error condition on Server A and the Activity
request information is not cleaned up on the current thread
properly. Then subsequently this thread is used to run a
second Activity request, there could be two active requests
being processed at the same time.

Problem conclusion

The property group has been modified so that it can handle
multiple active requests being processed at the same time.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.39 and 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the
