    The problem occurs because of a timing condition where the
    node agent is not ready to add the dmanager as a notification
    listener.  As a result, the started notification does not get
    sent to the dmgr. Trace shows the following:
    addRemoteListener failed during dmgr discovering nodeagent with
    error below:

Problem conclusion

  • Code is changed to have another retry when dmgr failed to
    addRemoteListener to nodeagent during discovery process.
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended
