Error description
A CICS region is restarted, however the BUNDLE installation fails because the JVMServer isn't available at that time. There seems to be a timing issue during a CICS warm start when installing a JVMServer and it's associated BUNDLES. The joblog shows the following sequence of messages: ---------------------------------------------------- DFHSJ1109 06/12/2016 05:25:16 An attempt to determine the highest semantic version of the OSGi bundle with symbolic name BUNDLE zzzzzzzz to install into JVMSERVER xxxxxx has failed with reason code JVMSERVER_NOT_ENABLED. DFHSJ0915 06/12/2016 05:25:18 JVMSERVER xxxxxx is now enabled and is ready for use.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users with UI50057 applied. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS bundle installation failure. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: . * **************************************************************** A CICS bundle is being installed in an OSGi (non-Liberty) JVM server which uses the versionRange attribute for an included OSGi bundle resource. The JVM server and the CICS bundle are both being installed at the same time, either explicitly or during a warm start. The result is that the OSGi bundle resource with versionRange is attempting to be installed while the JVM server is enabling. This leaves the bundle in an disabled state. Note - this APAR is also addressing a problem introduced by PI77502 (UI50057), where a class router failure is returned from the JVM when trying to determine the highest version within the version range of the bundle component. The problem is because of the use of parm_n on the method signature for SetByteArrayRegion within add_extended_plist_buffer in DFHSJSC. The use of parm_n is an uninitialised variable. The code should have used parm_m.
Problem conclusion
UI50057 CICS has been changed to defer the installation of a CICS bundle with versionRange attribute until the JVM server has completed its own initialisation. Note - this APAR is also correcting a problem introduced by PI77502 (UI50057) where a class router failure is returned from the JVM when trying to determine the highest version within the version range of the bundle component. The correct variable parm_m is now used on the call to SetByteArrayRegion.
