PK82642: PROXY ODC COMPONENT FAILED TO GET COMPLETE ROUTING INFOMATION EVEN AFTER STARTUP DELAY ON Z/OS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The proxy server ODC component never gets complete routing
  information on z/OS.  This will manifest itself as a long
  delay on startup of the proxy server.  The proxy server will
  wait the entire duration of http.odcUpdateTimeout (default 90
  seconds) on startup.
  

Local fix

• Lower the http.odcUpdateTimeout to a small value to work around
  this issue.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Proxy routing data is not fully         *
  *                      received at startup on z/OS.            *
  *                                                              *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the proxy server starts up, it waits for the routing
  information about the back-end cell to be received. This wait
  requires async reads to complete; on z/OS, however, the
  threads that handle async reads do not start until after the
  proxy initiates this wait.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix solves the issue by moving the code that starts the
  proxy's chains and waits for routing data to be received to
  start after the z/OS native threads that handle async reads.
  With this fix, the proxy will have its full routing tree by
  the time the proxy server starts.
