Problem conclusion

  • This problem was caused by an FFDC log file which captured an
    arrary with many elements. The code has been corrected by Open
    Liberty GIT issue 1039 (https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-
    liberty/issues/1039).
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 17.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
    delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    

Temporary fix

  • The problem only happens when FFDC occurs and try to log a large
    array. No workaround.
