Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 in * * prepareConnection when clearing * * storage * **************************************************************** 0C4 abend in prepareConnection when clearing storage because the requested storage was not obtained. The failing PSW address is in the bbgzsafm DLL. The stack traceback shows java went native to aio_prepare2 which ends up calling prepareConnection.
Problem conclusion
Updated the code to not clear storage if the storage was not obtained. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in WebSphere Liberty fix pack 26.0.0.2 For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
