APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM WebSphere Application Server stopServer/stopNode/stopManager
  scripts hang in Qshell when LOGOUTPUT is set to *PND in
  QWASJOBD or when the IBM i system value QLOGOUTPUT is set to
  *PND.
  

Local fix

• Execute the following command to manually change the QWASJOBD
  LOGOUTPUT parameter to *JOBEND.
  
  CHGJOBD JOBD({was_product_library}/QWASJOBD) LOGOUTPUT(*JOBEND)
  
  i.e.
  CHGJOBD JOBD(QWAS85/QWASJOBD) LOGOUTPUT(*JOBEND)
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5 and V9.0.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On IBM i, the stopServer, stopNode      *
  *                      and stopManager commands may hang       *
  *                      when the QLOGOUTPUT system value is     *
  *                      set to *PND.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Apply Fix pack 8.5.5.14 or 9.0.0.9          *
  ****************************************************************
  On IBM i, if the QLOGOUTPUT system value is set to *PND, the
  stopServer, stopNode and stopManager commands will hang
  because the DSPJOBLOG command will be in a wait state forever
  until the server's Job Log can be obtained.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere Application Server is fixed to set LOGOUTPUT
  to *JOBEND in the QWAS85/QWASJOBD and QWAS9/QWASJOBD job
  descriptions.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.9.  Please refer to the

Temporary fix

• Set LOGOUTPUT
  to *JOBEND in the QWAS85/QWASJOBD and QWAS9/QWASJOBD job
  descriptions, eg:
  
  CHGJOBD JOBD(QWAS85/QWASJOBD) LOGOUTPUT(*JOBEND)
  CHGJOBD JOBD(QWAS9/QWASJOBD) LOGOUTPUT(*JOBEND)
