Error description
The daemon takes an abend0c4 because there is corruption in the PCE cpool where the free chain was overlaid. This can happen when there are multiple cells running in the LPAR and some are running with a level of code that includes APAR PI85206 and some don't. The joblog will show the abend0c4: BBOO0033W Processing for signal 'SIGSEGV' (11) with si_code='<unknown>'(255) si_errno=0 si_addr=00000000 , in current thread (315020000000000B 00ACBB58). BBOO0034W Terminating the current thread (315020000000000B 00ACBB58), REASON=C9C20009. The abend0c4 has this traceback: bboclssa(CF_SessionHandle*,void*,void*,MVS::STOKEN*,int*,int -000B40EC bbgcf CF_Local_Connection::init_As_Server(Lscb*) +000005C8 bbgcf CF_Local_Connection_Object_Manager::processAsyncAcceptComple +000000CE bbgcf ACR_ExecutionThread::RemoveAndProcessWork(ThreadCleanUp*) +00001270 bbgboa ACR_ExecutionRoutine +0000021E bbgboa If 5 of these abends happen in a 10 minute window, the daemon will terminate with this message: BBOO0035W TERMINATING THE CURRENT PROCESS, REASON=C9C21246
Local fix
Run all cells on LPAR either at fix pack levels that include PI85206 or do not include PI85206 - versus a mixture where some cells include PI85206 and some don't.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for * * z/OS receives ABEND0C4 in BBOOBIND * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** ABENDS0C4 may occur in modules bboobind or bbooubnd within load module bbodpcrt within a Controller. The cpool used to track local communication binds (ETCON) may become corrupted. This can lead to 0C4's under the bboobind and bbooubnd pc routines. The environment that may lead to this corruption is a local comm connection across cells within the same system in which one cell has APAR PI85206 installed and the other does not.
Problem conclusion
Code has been modified to eliminate the cpool corruption when using local comm across cells within the same system. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.15 and 9.0.0.10.
