PM13901: clearmake spawns more abes than defined by CCASE_CONC when multi ple assignments of CCASE_BLD_HOSTS with differing hostname co

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Clearmake can spawn more abes than defined by the CCASE_CONC or
  -J value  when their are multiple assignments of CCASE_BLD_HOSTS
   wherein they have differing quantities of hostnames.
  
  eg.
  ?target? := CCASE_BLD_HOSTS = ?10 bldhosts?
  ?target? := CCASE_BLD_HOSTS = ?8 bldhosts?
  
  WORKAROUND:
  (1) ensure that all quantities of hostnames/bldhosts per CCASE_B
  LD_HOSTS are equal
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• This defect happens only when CCASE_BLD_HOSTS being used
  with two different values.
  

Problem conclusion

• WORK-AROUNDs suggested:
  1)Using  EV "CCASE_ABE_TIMEOUT" so that idle abes are killed
  much earlier(then the default 3 hrs).
  2) Targets which require specific machine to be built on,
  can be built in a sub-make with a buildhost file containing
  required machine names.
  

Temporary fix
