PK98689: ABENDDC3/ABENDSDC3 RC=000C000B DURING STOP PROCESSING OF A WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER FOR Z/OS CONTROLLER.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After a STOP command is issued for a WebSphere Application
  Server for z/OS server, the Controller completes almost all
  of its shutdown processing before receiving an ABENDDC3/
  ABENDSDC3 with reason code 000C000B at the very end.  The
  region is almost completely stopped when the abend occurs, so
  there are no side effects other than the abend and associated
  dump.

  An ABENDDC3 with reason code 000C000B indicates that a hung
  thread was detected during server shutdown.  To avoid shutdown
  delays and other errors, the region is abended early when this
  condition is detected.
  
  Under some circumstances, the code that detects hung threads
  can be overaggressive and abend the region even though the
  offending thread would have gone away on its own.  In these
  situations it is unnecessary to issue the ABENDDC3.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was added that provides a waiting period to allow hung
  threads to terminate on their own.  When a hung thread is
  detected, the waiting period activates.  If the hung thread is
  still there after a period of time, the region is terminated
  with an ABENDDC3 just like before.
