Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SystemErr log reports a recursive * * FFDC, but no FFDC record is generated. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If an exception is coming from the WebSphere's FFDC component, FFDC incident generation is suppressed to prevent recursive FFDC calls. As a result, no FFDC record is generated for the exception. Users will not be able to trace back to the exact place where the exception occurs. The fix will allow FFDC to be created at most once if it's recursive.
Problem conclusion
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.5.0.4 and 8.5.5.18. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? rs=180&uid=swg27004980
