    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Request load may not be correctly       *
    *                      distributed across servers because      *
    *                      outstanding request counts for those    *
    *                      servers are incorrect                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Distributing the request load requires determining how loaded
    the available machines are to send requests to a less loaded
    server.  Since the counters for how many requests each server
    has been send are getting corrupted we make bad decisions and
    send traffic to servers that may not be the best choice to
    receive those requests.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Outstanding request counters were corrupted because multiple
    threads could update the counters simultaneously. This behavior
    has been corrected so that the counters have the correct values
    which leads to the expected routing decisions being made.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 9.0.0.10.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
