Error description
Occasionally WebSphere transaction connecting to CICS via WOLA seem to hang. Control region could not be stopped either because there are still active transactions. Investigation showed that CICS link servers were stopped unexpectedly. Any transactions requiring XA resolution will not be able to finish with the link servers down. CICS TOR joblog shows following error message immediately before the STOP occurs: . BBO Mon Apr 22 10:46:02 2013 0004724 BBOA8799E A WRITEQ TSQ BBO4724C error occurred with eibresp: 44 eibresp2: 0. . BBO Mon Apr 22 10:46:02 2013 0004724 BBOA8803E The link server stopped because of errors. Regname: OUTTRAN2 . The error that occurred was a write to a CICS temporary storage queue that the WOLA link task creates. The queue has a name BBOxxxxx where xxxxx varies depending on the link task instance. The WRITEQ error code 44 is QIDERR which means the queue no longer exists. . WebSphere development found out that the temporary storage queue names created by the WOLA link server only contain 4 of the 5 digits of the CICS task number. This can cause a link task to delete another link task's temporary storage queue. For example, if tasks 12345 and 22345 are running WOLA link tasks, and task 22345 exits, it will delete the temporary storage queue with 2345 in its name. This means that task 12345 will no longer be able to use this queue. . This APAR has been taken so that all five digits of the CICS task number are put into the temporary storage queue name that the WOLA link task creates.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS WOLA link server stops * * unexpectedly with message BBOA8803E. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA) link server may stop unexpectedly after issuing message BBOA8803E in the job output. The message will be preceeded by message BBOA8799E, which indicates a write to a CICS TSQ failed: BBOA8799E A WRITEQ TSQ BBO4724C error occurred with eibresp: 44 eibresp2: 0. The generated queue name is incorrect, and can collide with other queues used by the WOLA link server.
Problem conclusion
Code was added to the WOLA link server to generate unique queue names for communication between tasks. APAR PI32189 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Pack 7.0.0.39 of WebSphere Application Server.
