Error description

  • Abend EC3 REA=04060034 causing CR abend.
    WebSphere App Server v6.1.0.25
    When a message size is sent by the admin that has a size over
    10mb with 31bit code. NotificationServiceMBean is improperly
    requesting the storage from above the BAR via 64bit code. This
    then fails in the native code. When in 31bit we should not
    honor the request for anything above 10mb.
    .
     The svc dump was actually triggered as a result of ABEND DC3
