PK70886: UPDATE CUSTOMIZATION DIALOGUE INSTRUCTIONS TO INDICATE REGION CONSTRAINTS CAN LIMIT REGION SIZE OF CUSTOMIZATION SCRIPTS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Add information to customization dialogue instructions regarding
region constraints that may limit successful execution of
shell scripts that are created by the generated jobs.

Local fix

If a region constraint is limiting a script from completing
successfully. Identify hich region constraint is limiting the
region.

Some examples are:
MAXASSIZE, ASSIZEMAX for user, IEFUSI/JES2/JES3 exit)

Increase the region constraint to allow script to run.

Installation constraints that limit the region size, or system
exits that restrict the region a job is running in, may cause
the jobs generated by the ISPF Customization Dialog to
fail.  However, there is nothing in the generated instructions
that indicates this.

Problem conclusion

The instructions generated by the ISPF Customization Dialog
have been updated to indicate that system exits and region size
restrictions may prevent successful installation of WebSphere
for z/OS.

The following text has been added to the generated instructions:

By default, the customization jobs below are generated with
REGION=0M.  If this is not an allowable value on your target
system, you may need to modify this value for your
environment.  Your system must allow a private region of
sufficient size to allow the running of a Java Virtual Machine
Region with a maximum heap specification of 256 Megabytes
(i.e., -Xmx256m).  Installation constraints that limit the
region size, or system exits that restrict the region a job is
running in, may cause the customization jobs to fail due to a
JVM error.  In the event of an Out of Memory (OOM) failure due
to inadequate native store, you must remove this constraint in
order to successfully install WebSphere for z/OS.

APAR PK70886 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.23 of WebSphere
Application Server V6.1 for z/OS.
