Error description

WebSphere OLA can abend when connections in an address space
go
beyond 128.  For example this can happen in CICS if you have
a
link server with MXC=130, or a combination of several link
servers whose MXC add up to >128.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server Liberty for z/OS                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An ABEND0C4 RSN=4 or CICS ASRA abend    *
*                      occurs in the WOLA CICS Link Server     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
An ABEND0C4 RSN=4 or CICS ASRA abend can occur in the WOLA CICS
Link Server (modules bboatrue/bboacsrv/bboaclnk) if the total
number of WOLA connections used by the CICS region exceeds 128.
For example, if a link server is started using the BBOC
transaction, and MXC=500, the abend will occur if there are more
than 128 connections open at any one time.  Another example, if
two link servers are started, both with MXC=100, the abend will
occur if both link servers have a number of connections open
which is greater than 128.  The abend occurs while attempting to
expand the connection handle cell pool.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to avoid the ABEND0C4 while expanding the WOLA
connection handle cell pool.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 16.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
