APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• WebSphere Application Server ships multiple native library
  DLLs on Microsoft Windows but does not save or ship PDB symbol
  files (these are produced by the Microsoft Windows compiler).
  
  The PDB files are required to create sensical native stack
  traces for tools such as UMDH for native memory leak detection
  and windbg for crash analysis.
