Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• DB2REST
  Support for connecting RESTful web, mobile, and cloud
  applications to DB2 for z/OS by providing an environment for
  service, management, discovery, and invocation.
  
  Additional Keywords and Symptoms:
  ***********************************
  Application of the ptf associated with this APAR
  may result in unpredictable abend 0C4 dumps
  from DSNLILLM.DSNLIRTR+0C34. There will be no loss of DB2
  function nor any DB2 performance degradation, other than the
  resulting dumps being produced when port scanners are used.
  Please see corrective apar for more information.

  This APAR represents the initial delivery of DB2 12 native
  RESTful services support.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR represents the initial delivery of DB2 12 native
  RESTful services support.
  
  The primary documentation for the DB2 REST services support
  can be found under the topic, DB2 REST Services, in the
  DB2 12 for z/OS Knowledge Center at the following URL:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPEK_12.0.0
  
  Additional steps are required after applying the PTF in order
  to activate this new DB2 native RESTful services support
  functionality.  Please refer to the following important
  topics in the DB2 12 for z/OS Knowledge Center to complete
  the activation of DB2 native RESTful services support:
   - Creating database objects required by REST services
   - Authorization of REST service users
  
  The DB2 Information APAR II14827 MUST be reviewed for
  any IMPORTANT additional documentation, and any known
  limitations or restrictions related to the DB2 native REST
  services support.
  
  The following new reason code is added to the DB2 Codes manual.
  
  00D36800
  
  Explanation: To satisfy an unconditional request for storage
  for a RESTFul service execution reply message, the RESTful
  service execution function needs additional storage to expand
  the reply buffer.  However, the RESTful service reply message
  buffer is already at the maximum allowed size.
  
  System action: The agent is abended.
  
  Operator response: Notify the system programmer.
  
  System programmer response: If you suspect an error in DB2,
  you might need to report the problem. For information about
  identifying and reporting the problem, see Collecting
  diagnostic data and Obtaining DB2 Diagnosis Guide and
  Reference.
  
  Problem determination: Diagnostic information is recorded
  in SYS1.LOGREC, and a DB2 dump is requested.
  
  Collect the following diagnostic items:
   - Console output from the system on which the job was run,
     and a listing of the SYSLOG data set for the period of
     time that spans the failure.
   - Dynamic dump, taken to SYS1.DUMPxx data set, by DB2
     (04E and 04F abends).
   - SVC dump (or system dump), taken to SYS1.DUMPxx data
     set, as result of an operator-initiated dump command
     or SLIP trap exit.
   - Listing of SYS1.LOGREC data set, obtained by executing
     IFCEREP1.
