Error description

  • WebSphere Application Server controller regions issue message
    BBOO0325W when an IIOP request stays active for longer than the
    timeout value specified by protocol_iiop_local_timeout.
    
    For example:
    BBOO0325W An IIOP request for
    Class Name 'biz.aa.bbbbbbb.cccc.dddddHome' and
    Method Name '?ヤ
    ?￴
    ', to
    'hostname=h1111.h222.BIZ port=###', has timed out.
    SessionHandle=################, Request ID=########.
    
    The unprintable method names appear if the timed-out IIOP
    request is a LOCATE or a RE-LOCATE.  For a LOCATE request, the
    Class name will be an EJB HOME interface name.  For a RE-LOCATE,
    the class name could be anything.
    
    The garbled method name is the result of incorrect method name
    translation between ascii and ebcdic.

    The code page of the operation name and the operation name are
    managed by 2 fields within the ORBR (bbooorbr).  The code
    page of the operation name represents the code page of the
    current connection related to the ORBR request (ex. for a
    local communication connection the code page is EBCDIC).
    The garbled operation name appearing in the BBOO0325W
    message was caused by a mismatch between these 2 fields.
    example of garbled message.
