PH59036: JVM FAILS TO SHUT DOWN AND REMAINS IN A DISABLING STATE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During JVM server startup, the timeout  set by:
  com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.controller.timeout
  
  is hit and the JVM server starts to disable:
  
  DFHSJ0918 JVMSERVER xxxxxx is being disabled due to a PHASEOUT
  request.
  
  But it hangs during the disable and CICS has to be recycled to
  bring it down.
  
  After the region was quiesced the expected DFHSJ0918 messages
  were seen indicating that the shutdown has cycled through the
  PURGE, FORCEPURGE and KILL phases

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JVM server hangs during startup after   *
  *                      a TimeoutException and messages:        *
  *                      DFHSJ0918 JVMSERVER XXXXXXX is          *
  *                      being disabled due to a PHASEOUT        *
  *                      request.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  If a JVM server times out during startup due to setting
  com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.controller.timeout (while bundles are
  being activated) CICS issues message DFHSJ0918 for PHASEOUT
  processing but the JVM server never becomes disabled.
  The dfhjvmlog file shows a com.ibm.cics.router.RouterException
  caused by a java.lang.Exception with message 'Server has not
  started within x milliseconds.' caused by a
  java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS code has been updated to permit an orderly shutdown of the
  JVM server.
