IC75221: EXCESSIVE LOGGING AFTER JMS FAILURE WITH RETRY DISABLED

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If a JMS backend call fails (for example, if a JMS Messaging
    bus doesn't exist in an environment), hundreds of Network Error
    on Back
    interface entries flood the logs.   It appears  that the JMS
    continues to retry until the Error rule completes, despite the
    fact that retry is disabled for the JMS object. Given the
    configuration,
    the expected behavior is for only one error to appear in the
    logs.
    

Local fix

  • The issue occurs when remote DNS server cannot resolve the
    domain name provided
    by WebSphere JMS Endpoint So there is a workaround
    that can avoid this issue:
    
    Set "Host Alias" in default domain that can convert the domain
    name to assigned
    ip address.
    

Problem summary

  • WHO is likely to see this problem?
    DataPower customers using JMS as backend and the JMS object is
    unreachable.
    
    
    WHAT is the problem?
    The log will keep generating "Network Error on Back interface"
    
    
    WHY did the problem happen?
    Handle incorrectly when the JMS object is not up due to
    connection problem
    

Problem conclusion

  • 3.7.3.18, 3.8.0.12, 3.8.1.11, 3.8.2.3
