APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Plugin failing to reconnect and mark server back up following a
  server recovery from an outage or recycle.
  
  Though problem was unable to be easily reproduced outside of
  customer site, documentation and tests showed a possible
  problem with the retry interval and handling of threads within
  a process.
  
  Code fix will ensure improved handling of retry interval to
  avoid missed reconnection to a recovered server.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  V6.0.2 and V6.1 plugin                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Plugin fais to reconnect to a server    *
  *                      after the server has become             *
  *                      available.  The retryInSec count        *
  *                      proceeds to go negative.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  If the plugin can not reconnect to a        *
  *                  server that has become available, install   *
  *                  this fix.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  If the plugin does not reconnect and the retryInSec count
  grows increasingly negative, this fix will solve that symptom.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been added to correctly handle retry operations to
  down servers and will prevent the increasingly negative retry
  time.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 6.0.2.31 and 6.1.0.21.  Please refer to the
