APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • The issue can be circumvented by using
    -Xjit:disableGuardedCountingRecompilations
    -Xaot:disableGuardedCountingRecompilations
    

Problem summary

  • When zWAS is using multiple servant regions the JIT mechanism
    that aggressively upgrades method compilations is triggered too
    early leading to extra CPU cycles being consumed during startup.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.1 GA FP1
    .
    The JIT was updated to disable the 'Guarded Counting
    Recompilations' mechanism. Another upgrading mechanism that is
    less aggressive will be in effect.
    .
    To obtain the fix:
    Install build 20110323 or later
