PH32476: "SET X PROPERTY" STEPS FAIL DUE TO EXCEEDING MAX NUMBER OF RETRIES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Given an application process that runs multiple concurrent
  component processes, each of which attempt to set properties,
  will intermittently fail due to exceeding the max number of
  retries on the plugin step "Set X Property". This occurs when
  concurrency is not limited to 1 and occurrences increases with
  number of concurrent processes modifying the same type (e.g.,
  Application/Environment/Component) of property.
  

Local fix

• Limit concurrency of the plugin step until the intermittent
  failures have stopped occurring.
