PI12731: Information for the xscmd -c showLinkedPrimaries command is missing.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The xscmd showLinkedPrimaries command shows the current state
  of each link from a primary shard in the local domain to any
  primary shards in foreign domains. When a link is in recovery
  state, it indicates that replication encountered an exception.
  Typically, you review the container server SystemOut or JVM
  logs to find the exception, and to determine the number of
  links in each state, you must count or process the output.

  The xscmd showLinkedPrimaries command is enhanced to show the
  last replication exception encountered for links in recovery
  state. The message column shows the Exception class and the
  exception message. For the full stack, the container server
  SystemOut or JVM logs can be reviewed.
  The xscmd showLinkedPrimaries command also adds the number and
  types of links for each requested data grid and displays the
  results.
  Example:
  Container: server0_C-1, Server: server0, Host:
  host.domainName ***
  Grid Name Map Set Name Partition Domain  Container
  Status   Message
  --------- ------------ --------- ------  ---------
  ------   -------
  inventory aSet         0         domain2 server0_C-0
  recovery org.omg.CORBA.NO_RESPONSE: Request 134 timed out
  inventory aSet         1         domain2 server0_C-0
  recovery org.omg.CORBA.NO_RESPONSE: Request 136 timed out
  Primary shards reporting links that are online: 0
  Primary shards reporting links that are in recovery: 2
  Primary shards reporting links that are pending: 0
  Primary shards reporting no links: 0
  

Problem conclusion

• Apply the interim fix for additional information from the xscmd
  showLinkedPrimaries command.
