Error description

Certain MODIFY Commands in WebSphere for z/OS will not produce
output if the Java trace level is set to OFF, or WARNING or
above (SEVERE, ERROR) for the respective component of the MODIFY
command.

For example, F <CR>,DISPLAY,ADAPTER,DAEMONRGES does not produce
output if OLA trace level is set to OFF, WARNING, ERROR or
SEVERE. If OLA trace level is set to INFO or below (such as ALL,
FINER, FINEST etc), then output is produced.

Below is an example from Master Console. In this example OLA=all
produced valid output for DAEMONREGS, but setting TRACEINIT
produced no output because initial Java trace setting was
*=info.

F BBOS001,TRACEJAVA='OLA=all'
BBOO0211I MODIFY COMMAND TRACEJAVA='OLA=all' COMPLETED
SUCCESSFULLY
F BBOS001,DISPLAY,ADAPTER,DAEMONRGES
BBOA0007I: SHOWING REGISTRATIONS FOR DAEMON GROUP:
BBOA0003I: Name         Jobname  SWT TL Min  Max  Act  State
BBOA0004I: OLACB03W     OLABATCW 000 00 0001 0010 0001 00
BBOO0188I END OF OUTPUT FOR COMMAND DISPLAY,ADAPTER,DAEMONRGES
F BBOS001,TRACEINIT
BBOO0211I MODIFY COMMAND TRACEINIT COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
F BBOS001,DISPLAY,ADAPTER,DAEMONRGES
BBOO0188I END OF OUTPUT FOR COMMAND DISPLAY,ADAPTER,DAEMONRGES

Another example is: F <CR>,DISPLAY,THREADS. Notice that with
*=info valid output is produced but with *=warning no output is
produced.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and 8.0                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Responses to the MVS operator command   *
*                      MODIFY DISPLAY,ADAPTER are not          *
*                      displayed if the Java trace level is    *
*                      excluding INFO messages.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Responses to the MVS operator command MODIFY DISPLAY,ADAPTER
and MODIFY DISPLAY,THREADS are issued as INFO messages and are
subject to the same filtering as other messages issued by
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.  Since these messages
are responses to operator commands, they should be issued
regardless of the trace filtering.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to display responses to the
MODIFY DISPLAY,ADAPTER and MODIFY DISPLAY,THREADS commands
regardless of the Java trace filtering settings.

APAR PM38853 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.1 of WebSphere
Application Server.
