Content

After installation of FP3 for TBSM 4.2.1, the TIP Dashboard Server may hang after users log on. This does not happen on all systems. It has been reported on a number of systems when users have (non-shared) user portlet preferences, and console preference profile with a TIP view specified.

If the server does hang, the following steps will allow the server to be available again:

1. Restart TIP Dashboard server

2. Login as tipadmin

3. Open and re-save all console preference profiles

4. Other users may not logon.


The error seen in the SystemOut.log file in TIPProfile/logs/server1 directory are as follows:



0000000f ThreadMonitor W WSVR0605W: Thread "WebContainer : 6" (00000030) has been active for 695077 milliseconds and may be hung. There is/are 1 thread(s) in total in the server that may be hung.
The Dashboard server hangs because of a thread deadlock.

The issue is fixed by TIP APAR PM56111 which is shipped in IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager V4.2.1 Interim Fix3a (4.2.1.3-TIV-BSM-IF0003a). This Interim fix must be installed immediately after TBSM 4.2.1 Fix Pack 3, whether the systems are displaying symptoms or not.
