Error description
There is a chance that WOLA inbound request triggered by CICS transaction reach BBOATRUE which in turn triggers BBOA1INV which holds variable WAITTIME. Under certain circumstances WAITTIME which is meant for BBOCLSCC is ignored. Consequently the CICS transaction stays in status *running* unless being manually kicked off
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.5 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A BBOAINV request from CICS to a * * WebSphere Application Server for * * z/OS server hangs in BBOATRUE. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When the WOLA connection pool is empty a BBOA1INV call from CICS can wait indefinitely for a new connection even when a non zero waittime is specified on the BBOA1INV call. The request can wait indefinitely because the waittime specified on the BBOA1INV call is not passed along properly.
Problem conclusion
Changed the code to pass the waittime properly. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17 and fix pack 9.0.5.3. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
