    reference to old objects belongs to stopped CCL.
    

Local fix

  • CCL leak triggered by restarting application. Preventing
    application restart may bypass the problem.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application       *
    *                 Server V7.0                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for z/OS   *
    *                      Servant Region caused a classloader     *
    *                      leak when the application restarts.     *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When an application is restarted, stale references to the
    classloader for the previous instance of the application are
    maintained, causing a classloader leak in the Servant
    address space.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code was updated so that when the application is restarted,
    stale references to the classloader for the previous
    instance of the application are removed.
    
    APAR PM60815 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
