Error description

  • In Rational Developer for z System (RDz) host version 9.5.0.1,
    when there is a long wait for an operation, a number of
    .dstoreStackTrace*.txt log files will get generated for the user
    associated with the operation.
    These files can be ignored and do not cause any problems.
    

Local fix

  • Remove the .dstoreStackTrace*.txt files manually.

    01.When the _RSE_JAVAOPTS becomes longer than 1024 characters,
       the log gathering tool fails to collect host logs (server,
       audit and user).
    02.Enhancement to do SMP/E RECEIVE from tape.
    03.Using RDz 9.5.0.1 or z/OS Explorer host, generation of
       .dstoreStackTrace*.txt files cannot be disabled for an
       operation with a long wait. Generation of
       .dstoreStackTrace.*.txt is enabled as default but should be
       disabled and enabled only on demand and by request of IBM
       support.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.syscall readfile is limited to 1024 characters per line. A
       new routine was created that does not have this line length
       limitation.
    02.Enhancement to do SMP/E RECEIVE from tape.
    03.Server code is updated to disable generation of
       .dstoreStackTrace.*.txt files by default and to introduce an
       internal configuration setting that would enable it at
       request of IBM support.
