  ****************************************************************
  Transactional work in the destroyJobStep() method does not get
  rolled back after an uncaught exception is thrown. The batch
  container does not acknowledge the exception and the job may end
  normally
  

Problem conclusion

• The batch container no longer ignores uncaught exceptions from
  the destroyJobStep() method of a batch step. Instead the
  exception is acknowledged by the batch container and the
  transactional work is rolled back.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Compute Grid 8.0.0.4 and also in WebSphere
  Application Server 8.5.5.2. Please refer to the
