APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Jobs dispatched to a newly defined endpoint cluster that has
  the same name as a previously deleted endpoint cluster will be
  stuck in the submitted state.
  

Local fix

• Restart the scheduler
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of Websphere Compute Grid 8.0 and *
  *                  beyond                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Jobs are stuck in submitted state when  *
  *                      submitted to an endpoint cluster that   *
  *                      was                                     *
  *                      created using a previously deleted      *
  *                      cluster name.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a cluster is created using the same cluster name of a
  previously deleted cluster, jobs submitted to an application on
  this new cluster will be stuck in or remain in submitted state.
  

Problem conclusion

• Due to incomplete removal of the old cluster and creation of
  the new cluster from the Websphere Application Server
  administration framework, the new cluster appears unavailable
  to new job submissions. The creation process of the cluster
  was improved to successfully create the cluster from an
  administration point of view so that job submissions could
  occur successfully.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 8.0.0.4. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
