PI15518 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Notifications not sent to Service Integration Bus clients when a messaging engine instance is stopped forcefully.

LOCAL FIX:


PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Users of the default messaging provider for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When a messaging engine receives a FORCE_STOP request, clients which are connected to the messaging engine are not notified about the stop event. As a result, the client will not be able to connect to the messaging engine after it fails over to another member in the cluster. Since the clients are not notified about the stop event, they would still use the existing connection that has been established previously and SIConnectionUnavailableException and SIMPConnectionUnavailableException will be written to the logs.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

In a WebSphere Application Server Service Integration Bus, when a messaging engine loses a connection to the datastore, it will try to re-establish a connection for 15 minutes. If unsuccessful then the messaging engine receives a FORCE_STOP request and goes to disabled state. But the connected clients will not be notified about the messaging engine stop event. Since the clients are not notified about the stop event, they would still use the existing connection that has been established previously, leading to SIConnectionUnavailableException and SIMPConnectionUnavailableException in the logs. com.ibm.wsspi.sib.core.exception.SIConnectionUnavailableException: CWSIC8007E: An exception was caught from the remote server with ID 3-008-0001 Exception: CWSIK0022E: The connection is closed to messaging engine CL_BPWH01.000-BPM.De1.Bus and cannot be used....

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
We will now send stop event notifications to messaging engine clients when the messaging engine receives a FORCE_STOP request.
