Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * V9.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for z/OS * * Daemon allocated unnecessary common * * storage for system down ENF. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Each Daemon listens for ENF signals to manage its routing to servers contained within the cell that it belongs. A cell can have members across a plex. When a system is taken offline an ENF 35 signal is sent to each Daemon in the plex. The action for this ENF is to clean up control structures for any member of the cell that was running on that system. In cases where the ENF 35 represented a system which did not have any members in the current cell, the ENF exit allocates common storage as if a member were to be added for that system. This data structure has an eyecatcher of "BBODASRT" and a structure size of x'00015408'. When there are a large number of daemons in the configuration, this can lead to a shortage of common storage when a system is removed from the sysplex. The storage is not necessary, since that system did not contain any members in the cell.
Problem conclusion
Code has been modified in the processing of a system down ENF to not create the BBODASRT structure. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.2.
