PM10485: POSSIBLE REUSASID=YES ISSUES INTERACTING WITH OTHER PRODUCTS AFTER RUNNING UPDATEZOSSTARTARGS.PY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running updateZOSStartArgs.py adds REUSASID=YES to the start
  command args for each server.  REUSASID=YES is added to each
  servant, control, and adjunct region for each server.  To avoid
  possible conflicts with other products this parameter should
  only be added to the control region.
  

Local fix

• After running updateZOSStartArgs.py manually delete REUSASID=YES
  from the start command args.  This can be done in the admin
  console:
  
  Application servers > server_name > Java and Process Management
  > Process definition > Servant
  
  Application servers > server_name > Java and Process Management
  > Process definition > Adjunct

  ****************************************************************
  The script updateZOSStartArgs.py adds the parameter
  REUSASID=YES to all the process definitions for a server
  which includes Control, Servant, and Adjunct.   To avoid
  possible conflicts with other products, this parameter should
  only be added to the Control region of the server.
  There might be a failure such as:
  When REUSASID=YES defined for a servant, problems were
  encountered if using a DB2 type 2 driver.
  Server with type 4  driver doesn't have that problem.
  
  DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource.  Encountered
  java.sql.SQLException:
  initRRSAFAttach:2786: Abend occurred in RRSAF
  ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=nullDSRA0010E: SQL State = null,
  Error Code = -4,499
  

Problem conclusion

• The script was modified to only apply the parameter to the
  server's Control Region.
  
  A Warning message is also issued to warn users of possible
  problems interacting with other products.
  
  To take advantage of the script change, run the script with the
  -remove option for servers affected.
  Then run the script again (without -remove option) to apply the
  REUSASID parameter only to Control region.
