Closed as program error.
Error description
If a Compute Grid job produces very very much output in its job log, the the Compute Grid's scheduler is impacted. When a user tries to display the job with the Job Management Console, the Scheduler could abend, and/or cause Compute Grid jobs to fail. Additionally, the file system containing the job log itself could become full, which could cause problems even beyond Compute Grid.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Java Batch * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is currently no mechanism to * * obtain an alert or warning as to * * whether a WebSphere Java Batch job may * * be runaway and producing excess log * * output. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A WebSphere Java Batch job that produces too much log output can potentially cause a file system space issue and also impact other operations that access the job logs, like the Java Batch Job Scheduler.
Problem conclusion
A new WebSphere environment variable has been added: JobLogCountAlert This variable is used to specify the number of job log parts that can be written before an audit message is issued indicating that number has been reached. After which, the count is reset and the tracking will start anew. By default, this is set to 0 (disabled). The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.0.10.
