APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During stgrule replication processing the
  source server can crash.
  
  The source server attempts to reacquire a cached replication
  session and sends a ping to the target
  
  server.   The session has been closed by the target server and
  the source server drives an error
  
  recovery code path causing the crash on the source server.
  
  
  
  Running dbx on AIX will obtain a stack similar to:
  
  
  
  pkAcquireMutexTracked(??, ??, ??) at 0x10000a06c
  smReplFreeSession(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x100d858a4
  smReplGetSession(??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x100d8485c
  ReplTcrSessionThread(??) at 0x100f120fc
  StartThread(0x0) at 0x10001156c
  
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
  Server 8.1.x.x and later on all supported platforms
