Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Websphere Compute Grid Version 8 users who  *
*                  utilize Compute Intensive based batch       *
*                  applications                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a compute intensive based batch    *
*                      application throws an exception, an     *
*                      incorrect exit state of 'restartable'   *
*                      is assigned to the job. This causes a   *
*                      ClassCastException to be encountered    *
*                      if the job is submitted for a restart.  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  To avoid a ClassCastException, do not       *
*                  attempt                                     *
*                  a restart, rather submit a new instance of  *
*                  the                                         *
*                  job in question. In general, compute        *
*                  intensive                                   *
*                  based batch applications are not intended   *
*                  to                                          *
*                  be restartable.                             *
****************************************************************
Because of incorrect final job state handling after an
application
exception is raised, a compute intensive based batch job is
placed
in 'restartable' state. The correct state should be
execution_failed.

Problem conclusion

The code was modified to correctly place a compute intensive
based batch job in execution_failed state should a batch
application throw an exception.  The fix for this APAR is
currently targeted for inclusion in fixpack 8.0.0.4. Please
