Error description
When a stop is issued there are no other indications of the stop being processed other that the stop message in the CR job log. This is prior even to the jvm being told to terminate. It was found that there were no active transactions but there were Activities active. Activities can span a very long time frame. They can include multiple tranactions which are normally much shorter. The wait on Activities is to be addressed. Sample message to identify Activities follows. .

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V6.1, V8.0, and V8.5 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for z/OS * * Control region hung after a stop * * command was issued. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The stop processing for a server on z/OS waits for current requests, Transactions, and Activities to complete before shutting down. Activities, by design, are long running units of work. An activity may take days or weeks to complete. The controller was waiting for Activities to complete before progressing with the shutdown of the server.
Problem conclusion
Code has been modified in the stop command function to allow the shutdown of the server when there are no active requests or Transactions. Active Activities will not inhibit the server from shutting down from a stop command. APAR PM71182 is currently targeted for inclusion WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 7.0.0.27. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
