PH71496: LIBERTY JVM SERVER REMAINS IN DISABLING STATE AFTER TIMEOUT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During JVM server startup, the timeout  set by:
  com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.controller.timeout
  
  is hit and the JVM server starts to disable:
  
  DFHSJ0918 JVMSERVER xxxxxx is being disabled due to a PHASEOUT
  request.
  
  In the JVMLOG:
  java.lang.Exception: Server has not responded within xxxxx
  milliseconds
  
  But it hangs during the disable and CICS has to be recycled to
  bring it down.
  

Local fix

• Set a larger timeout value for:
  com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.controller.timeout to
  allow the Liberty server to start normally.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JVM server hangs during startup after   *
  *                      a TimeoutException and message:         *
  *                      DFHSJ0918 JVMSERVER XXXXXXX is          *

  ****************************************************************
  If a JVM server times out during startup due to setting
  com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.controller.timeout (while bundles are
  being activated) CICS issues message DFHSJ0918 for PHASEOUT
  processing but the JVM server never becomes disabled.
  The dfhjvmlog file shows a com.ibm.cics.router.RouterException
  caused by a java.lang.Exception with message 'Server has not
  started within x milliseconds.' caused by a
  java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException.
  PH59036
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS code has been updated to permit an orderly shutdown of the
  JVM server.
