PI87419: BUNDLE INSTALLATION FAILS DURING CICS WARM START

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A CICS region is restarted, however the BUNDLE installation
  fails because the JVMServer isn't available at that time.
  
  There seems to be a timing issue during a CICS warm start when
  installing a JVMServer and it's associated BUNDLES.
  
  
  The joblog shows the following sequence of messages:
  ----------------------------------------------------
  DFHSJ1109 06/12/2016 05:25:16 An attempt to determine the

  * RECOMMENDATION: .                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  A CICS bundle is being installed in an OSGi (non-Liberty) JVM
  server which uses the versionRange attribute for an included
  OSGi bundle resource. The JVM server and the CICS bundle are
  both being installed at the same time, either explicitly or
  during a warm start. The result is that the OSGi bundle
  resource with versionRange is attempting to be installed while
  the JVM server is enabling. This leaves the bundle in an
  disabled state.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed to defer the installation of a CICS
  bundle with versionRange attribute until the JVM server has
  completed its own initialisation.
