    ****************************************************************
    The activity service's server-side interceptors may leave
    activities (ie business activity or workarea) on the thread
    after executing an inbound request.  Subsequent re-use of the
    threads can lead to a corruption of the activity hierarchy
    such that an activity becomes a parent or ancestor of itself.
    This may result in a variety of errors including a
    SystemException on importing a corrupted activity hierachy or
    an infinite loop, for example in
    LocalActivityContext.getTopContext when making an outbound
    request.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The activity service's server-side interceptor was modified to
    ensure that the thread is cleared of all activity service
    related state once the inbound request has completed.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 6.1.0.47, 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.1.  Please
