****************************************************************
The job scheduler dispatch process was completed successfully
and the job was marked as owned by the endpoint.  However, on
the endpoint server, there is a timing window where the servant
region was cancelled after it picked up the job but before the
record keeping was updated.  Because of this, the control
region did not know about this job so no clean up was done for
this job when the servant region was down.

Problem conclusion

Currently, when about to execute a job (calling the
BatchJobController.submitJob()),the endpoint server adds the
job to the control region job cache.  However, if
the endpoint servant region is canceled at any point
before the job is added to the job cache, no status update will
be sent out.
The runtime code has been updated to add the jobid to the
control region job cache as soon as the runtime gets the job
submission.
This way, if the servant region goes down before it processes
the job submission, the control region will have a record of
this job and it will cancel the job and send update status to
the endpoint.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 8.0.0.4 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
