Abstract

You can download the IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale Version 8.6 Fix Pack 1, also known as 8.6.0.1.

Download Description

IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale is an elastic, scalable in-memory data grid that provides a key-addressable store of values or graphs. This product supports a processing unit state store for applications written in Java. You can replicate the data stored in the grid depending on availability requirements, and you can achieve out-of-the-box database integration.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale can be integrated with existing WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment installations, or you can install the stand-alone product.

More information
To access a wide variety of technical resources for this product, see the IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale Version 8.6 Information Center.

The following APARs are included in this fix pack:

PM78407 The HTTP session creation time in WebSphere eXtreme Scale is incorrect after application server failover.
PM78385When entries of object properties are removed with the ClientSecurityConfigurationFactory.getClientSecurityConfiguration, errors occur.
PM77540Session creation within a data grid agent causes an exception and a client timeout when data grid security is enabled.
PM79085Startup failures might occur when you use large topologies.
PM77477The xscmd command might not connect if one of the catalogs is unavailable, even with multiple catalog endpoints defined.

PM77266A workspace conflict causes containers to not start.
PM77856Reduce synchronization for HTTP sessions that have been retrieved from the remote data grid to eliminate deadlocks.
PM77443The management concentrator does not remove listeners on closed or failed JMX connections.
PM77893Orphan threads are not cleaned up after stopping the server with the ServerFactory.stopServer() method.
PM78395An OptionalDataException is seen while running a query against a Liberty profile server.
PM78397Unnecessary synchronization limits XC10 appliance performance.
PM78414.NET Client non-English messages are not displayed in a non-English environment.
PM78470The ClassnotfoundException exception occurs on the channel framework when running a client with a third-party JDK.
PM78492SpecialKeys are displayed for data grids enabled for dynamic cache when using XIO.

PM78827When an unsigned 64-bit integer is used within a class in a C# application, an FFDC record is generated.
PM78841The monitoring console is slow to retrieve statistics.
PM78867Embedded catalogs and remote stand-alone eXtreme Scale containers using XIO receive catalog service endpoints with a port of 0 defined.
PM78869Running the xscmd -c showNotificationHistory command against a list of catalog servers might result in inconsistent message results.
PM78875When using COPY_TO_BYTES copy mode and eXtremeIO, both serialization plug-ins are available on the backing map.
PM78876When the ObjectMap.clear() API or agent calls are in a client located in the same JVM as the container server, timeouts might occur.
PM78878The command, xscmd -c showReplicationState, stops returning data when a container is dropped.
PM78936Running XIO with COPY_TO_BYTES map fails with an assertion error when using map collections with the -ea JVM argument.
PM78938Users are required to provide more security parameters than necessary.
PM78945Applications might get stale data from the MapGlobalIndex API because the global index update process is set to asynchronous, which is the default.
PM78950An eXtreme Scale catalog server throws java.Io.IOException in a remote JMX listener during startup, while continuing to process requests.
PM79151When using XIO and COPY_TO_BYTES, the readobject method is not invoked.
PM79165An access denied exception occurs when running XIO and security is enabled on WebSphere eXtreme Scale for WebSphere Application Server clients.

PM79168XC10 upgraded mixed collective fails to initialize.
PM79169The command, xscmd -c showmapsizes, is not working with XIO in the Liberty profile.
PM79276The import and export functions conflict between traditional WebSphere Application Server packages provided by WebSphere eXtreme Scale and packages provided by the Liberty profile.
PM79317xscmd -c showReplicationState command not returning data after inserting for over 20 minutes when security is enabled.
PM79338The files, channel-outbound.Xml or channel.Xs.Xsd, were not loaded correctly.
PM79445Time-to-live eviction fails when you change the time-to-live value from no timeout to having a timeout.
PM80420Using AdminTasks scripting to configure catalog service domains might cause catalog servers to not be displayed as started.
PM81026The ClassNotFoundException hides the original exception when using XIO transport.
PM81046In the write-behind loader in MMR domains, the LoaderException can occur with the KeyNotFoundException.
PM81177Agent calls or use of the clear API hangs when AvailabilityException is expected for XIO transport.
PM81179With initial state set to preload, the data grid spends a short time in online state.
PM81708StateManager.getObjectGridState() fails with TargetNotAvailableException repeatedly.
PM81901Session runtime does not insert data into WebSphere eXtreme Scale grid for WebSphere Application Server V6.1.0.X embedded catalogs and containers.
PM82120The command, xscmd -c showmapsizes, does not display data after session data is entered into the data grid with security enabled.
PM82123Running the xscmd commands in the Liberty profile results in an error for every command.
PM82129The monitoring console connects to catalogs but fails to display statistics when ORB ports are used.
PM82133The data grid state manager fails when called before data grid has started.
PM82135When starting a catalog server with ObjectGrid trace, a NullPointerException stops the catalog from starting correctly.
