PI77669: SEQUENCING OF PAUSELISTENERS/RESUMELISTENERS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Customer detected that switching to rolling update resulted  in
interruption of their MDB processing - message  J2CA0520W,
Root cause was determined to be with  the underlying
implementation of the PAUSELISTENER and then RESUMELISTENER
code - management code is issuing a PAUSE
but is not waiting for it to complete before issuing the RESUME
and the WAS z/OS native code  rejects the RESUME because of
that.

Fix is to update the code to  apply the JVM server stop
wait custom property to the pause command. With that, customer
can adjust the custom property to wait for the pause command.

Local fix

Manually resume activation specs as needed.

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.5 and 9.0.                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When resuming an application server     *
*                      during an application rollout update    *
*                      in a z/OS environment, resume failed    *
*                      with error.                             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If application servers are configured to be paused rather than
stopped during an application rollout update, the deployment
manager waits for 10 seconds for a server to pause. If an
application server is resumed before the pause is complete, an
error similar to the following will occur in the log:
13.42.45 STC31052  BBOO0298E SERVER RDL3/QR3NODE/QR3LR1 IS
CURRENTLY  MODIFYING  073
073             COMMUNICATION LISTENERS. THE
RESUMELISTENERS MODIFY OPTION IS NOT
073             ALLOWED AT THIS TIME.
13.42.45 STC31052  BBOO0211I MODIFY COMMAND RESUMELISTENERS
COMPLETED  WITH ERRORS

Problem conclusion

Allow a custom property,
com.ibm.websphere.zos.rollout.pause.waitTimeout, in the node
agent configuration to specify in seconds how long the
deployment manager waits for a server to pause. This property
must be added to the settings for all of the node agents on
which you want to provide a longer length of time to pause the
servers instead of the default 10 seconds.

Follow the step below to configure the new custom property:
1.In the administrative console, click System Administration >
Node agents >  Administrative Services > Custom Properties >
New
2.Enter com.ibm.websphere.zos.rollout.pause.waitTimeout in
the Name field, and the wait time in seconds in the Value field.
3.Click OK.
4.Click Save to save your changes to the master configuration.
5.Restart the node agent.
