    ****************************************************************
    The default introspection level for FFDC is 3.  When FFDC is
    invoked by a component, the default formatter will perform
    introspection into 3 levels.  In this case, one of the
    uninstantiated fields(XMemConnectionContext) within the 3
    levels of the object provided to FFDC is only available on
    z/OS, so it can not be introspected and results in a
    ClassNotFoundException.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The default formatter has been updated to handle this
    condition such that the ClassNotFoundException is reported to
    FFDC and allows the intended FFDC reported by the component to
    continue to be logged.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.25 and 8.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended
