    Blocking is active.  Data caching is limited.  blocksize =
    32768.  Bytes passed since last reset = 36712
    FINER: This 32768 has failed and the fail-over is not possible.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • IBMJCEHybrid does not failover because Signature exceeds
    blocksize of 32768
    

Problem conclusion

  • Block size has been increased to handle larger amount of data in
    
    the event of a failover, similar to APAR PH19449
    .
    This APAR will be fixed in the following Releases:
    .
    IBM Semeru Runtimes
    IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition
      8   SR8 FP65  (8.0.8.65)
    .
