APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Asynchronous replication does not update enough data on each
    replicating cycle when grids contain a large number of maps.
    While under continuous load, the replica cannot stay current.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of WebSphere eXtreme Scale who have   *
    *                  several maps in their data grids and use    *
    *                  asynchronous replication.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Asynchronous replication can fall       *
    *                      behind when the primary is under load.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When looking at the revisions information for a primary and
    replica, the replica can fall behind even though the primary
    is able to stay current with a large load.  When many maps
    exist, the replication code is conservative so as not
    to go out of memory when replicating.  Therefore, the
    replication packets sent to the replica can be smaller.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code was updated to make sure that more data is sent
    during each replication cycle.
