PM26178: WEBSPHERE V7.X Z/OS - UPDATE TO ROUTINGTABLE CODE TO HANDLE MAKING THE DMGR MOBILE ON Z/OS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A "mobile" Deployment Manager is one that is capable of
being started on different MVS images in the Sysplex.
This provides higher availability because it allows you
to maintain a DMGR instance even when MVS images are taken
out of service for planned maintenance. It's a relatively
simple thing to accomplish, and is considered a
"best practice" when configuring a network deployment
configuration that spans multiple MVS images in a Sysplex.
.
At the heart of this is z/OS Sysplex Distributor.
That's what allows the DMGR to be started in different
places and still be located by a TCP request.
.
WebSphere z/OS V7 introduced new functionality that
at the present time modifies slightly the process to make
the DMGR "mobile".  The  RoutingTable code and IPC Ports
make the process difficult.  Tech DOC WP101140
was updated.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 on z/OS                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: For Mobile DeploymentManager on z/OS    *
*                      as described in Tech DOC WP101140,      *
*                      after the DeploymentManager             *
*                      has been moved to the alternate         *
*                      system, node status may not be          *
*                      correct.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The code does not take into account that the DeploymentManager
could be running on an alternate
system from where it is configured to be running.   Because of
this, the wrong(local) connector type is used to connect to
nodeagent and status could be wrong.

Problem conclusion

The code has been modified to check the running system in
determining connector type.

APAR PM26178 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.19 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
