PM09956: POSSIBLE REUSASID=YES ISSUES INTERACTING WITH OTHER PRODUCTS AFTER RUNNING UPDATEZOSSTARTARGS.PY

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Running updateZOSStartArgs.py adds REUSASID=YES to the start
command args for each server.  REUSASID=YES is added to each
servant, control, and adjunct region for each server.  To avoid
possible conflicts with other products this parameter should
only be added to the control region.

Local fix

After running updateZOSStartArgs.py manually delete REUSASID=YES
from the start command args.  This can be done in the admin
console:

Application servers > server_name > Java and Process Management
> Process definition > Servant

Application servers > server_name > Java and Process Management
> Process definition > Adjunct

****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The script updateZOSStartArgs.py adds the parameter
REUSASID=YES to all the process definitions for a server
which includes Control, Servant, and Adjunct.   To avoid
possible conflicts with other products, this parameter should
only be added to the Control region of the server.
There might be a failure such as:
When REUSASID=YES defined for a servant, problems were
encountered if using a DB2 type 2 driver.
Server with type 4  driver doesn't have that problem.

DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource.  Encountered
java.sql.SQLException:
initRRSAFAttach:2786: Abend occurred in RRSAF
ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=nullDSRA0010E: SQL State = null,
Error Code = -4,499

Problem conclusion

The script was modified to only apply the parameter to the
server's Control Region.
A Warning message is also issued to warn users of possible
problems interacting with other products.

To take advantage of the script change, run the script with the
-remove option for servers affected.
Then run the script again (without -remove option) to apply the
REUSASID parameter only to Control region.

APAR PM09956 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.33 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1.
