APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following error is thrown when the IBMJCECCA hardware crypto
  provider is not loaded correctly:
  
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
  com/ibm/crypto/hdwrCCA/provider/HIKM.CacheHikmNatIntFID(Ljava/la
  ng/Object;)V
  
  The stack trace will look similar to the following:
  
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
  com/ibm/crypto/hdwrCCA/provider/HIKM.CacheHikmNatIntFID(Ljava/la
  ng/Object;)V
    at com.ibm.crypto.hdwrCCA.provider.HIKM.<clinit>(HIKM.java:9)
    at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method)
    at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:200)

    at com.ibm.crypto.hdwrCCA.provider.IBMJCECCA.<init>
       (IBMJCECCA.java:160)
    ...
  
  This APAR will improve the handling of this load failure.
  
  NOTE: This problem only surfaces when the provider fails to
  load. If your IBMJCECCA provider has already loaded, then you
  are not affected.
