APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If DataPower is managing connections over SSH and using
  persistent connections in the same respect, if a timeout occurs
  around the reuse it may cause an unexpected reload.  This is
  more likely to happen with a SFTP Poller FSH having a delay
  between polls equal to the persistent connection idle timeout.
  

Local fix

• Disable persistent connections in the SSH Client Profile object
  attached to the SFTP Front Side Poller.
  

Problem summary

• Affected is the use of the SFTP Poller Front Side Handler and
  the SSH Client Profile.
  
  Prior to the fix in certain timing situations, DataPower might
  restart.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 7.0.0.17, 7.1.0.14, 7.2.0.11, 7.5.0.5,
  7.5.1.4 and 7.5.2.2
