Error description
TPC-R incorrectly attempts to read post data twice when servlet caching is enabled. User could not add storage system (z/OS connection) in the Add Storage System panel
Local fix
Problem summary
For customers running on zOS with WebSphere variants it is possible for any page that uses post data (csv import, admin page, pairs page, add copysets, add device, etc) that the product attempts to read the post data twice when application server WebContainer has the property enableServletCaching set to "true". This issue exhibits itself as an error accessing the page or sending the data to the server. The fix is to change the code to override the input stream and allow classes that wrap the servlet request to still read and post data.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
So as a workaround, edit the server.xml file located under <WAS_HOME>/ \config\cells\<CELL>\nodes\<Node>\servers\<Server>\server.xml set the following properties to "false": <services xmi:type="applicationserver:DynamicCache" xmi:id="DynamicCache_1184194176406" enable="false"> ... <components xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:WebContainer" xmi:id="WebContainer_1184194176406" enableServletCaching="false" disablePooling="false">
