PH50486: A DOLLAR SIGN IN -XTRACE ISN'T PROCESSED CORRECTLY AND SERVANT.JVM.OPTIONS FILE IS NOT UPDATED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following -Xtrace isn't processed correctly because it
  contains a dollar sign ($)
  
  -Xtrace:none=all,maximal=mt,methods={java/util/concurrent/locks/
  ReentrantReadWriteLock$ReadLock.lock*,java/util/concurrent/locks
  /ReentrantReadWriteLock$ReadLock.tryLock*,java/util/concurrent/l
  ocks/ReentrantReadWriteLock$ReadLock.unlock*},trigger=method{jav
  a/util/concurrent/locks/ReentrantReadWriteLock$ReadLock.lock*,js
  tacktrace},trigger=method{java/util/concurrent/locks/ReentrantRe
  adWriteLock$ReadLock.tryLock*,jstacktrace},trigger=method{java/u
  til/concurrent/locks/ReentrantReadWriteLock$ReadLock.unlock*,jst
  acktrace},output=lockStack.trc
  
  
  This Generic JVM arguments is set for the servant and the
  server.xml is updated, but the servant.jvm.options file contains
  the following line instead of whole -Xtrace:
  
  -Xtrace:none=
  

Local fix

• Edit the EBCDIC file servant.jvm.options to set -Xtrace.

  This Generic JVM arguments is set for the servant and the
  server.xml is updated, but the servant.jvm.options file
  contains
  the following line instead of whole -Xtrace:
  -Xtrace:none=
  

Problem conclusion

• The code is corrected to handle -Xtrace values.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.23 and 9.0.5.15. For more information, see 'Recommended
