Error description

  • In Rational Developer for System z (RDz) v8.5.1.4, when a user
    kills his RDz client, the RDz server will see it and terminate
    his session on the server.
    In some circumstances, it can happen that some user threads will
    remain in the threadpool due to a deadlock situation.
    Operator command DISPLAY PROCESS may the show the user as still
    connected.
    
    A javacore file will show the following information:
    1LKDEADLOCK    Deadlock detected !!!
    NULL           ---------------------

Local fix

  • Threads can be terminated manually using command
    f bpxoinit, term=<PID>.<thread id>
    
    Or the threadpool needs to be terminated
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: 01.RDz 8* users                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.During a disconnect, it's possible   *
    *                         for a deadlock to occur.             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    01.When an RDz user disconnects from the server, it is possible
       (although rare) for the timing to be such that a deadlock
       can occur. In such scenarios, this can also result in locked
       datasets.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.In order to avoid the deadlock, a synchronized block in the
       server code was removed. This is a change that had already
       gone into the RDz 9* versions.
