  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Due to a problem introduced by APAR PM95795, threads may hang
    and an application server may stop responding to requests on
    version V7.0.0.31 or V8.0.0.8.  This can happen when
    Asynchronous I/O (AIO) is enabled, which it is by default, and
    it can only occur on Windows operating systems.
    .
    Javacores and the SystemOut.log (WSVR0605W messages) may show
    many threads hung with a stack trace similar to the following:

Local fix

  • AIO can be disabled to prevent the problem.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A thread could hang when processing a   *
    *                      timeout                                 *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    A thread could hang when processing a possible timeout of  a
    TCP read/write operation due to thread synchronization issues.
    This could occur, when trying to confirm a read/write had been
    successfully cancelled and the operation could be truly
    declared a timeout. This problem was introduced with PM95795
    

Problem conclusion

  • To avoid the hang, polling code was added to the TCP AIO code
    to monitor the state of the cancel operation
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
