PM55982: APPLICATION DEPLOY TAKES LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO TO LISTBLAS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The customer reports that as the number of deployed web
applications increases so does the time to deploy new
applications.  Specifically, the systems takes about 10
minutes to come back after clicking Next on the 'How do
you want to install the application?'window.  The other
install steps respond in a timely manner.
-
Further investigation showed that a hung thread is
waiting for an asynchronous command operation to
complete. The command is "listBLAs" to list all of
the BLAs.  A jython script run by the customer which
issued the command:
AdminTask.listBLAs()
with trace setting "BLA=all" for the Deployment
Manager (dmgr) confirms that the hang occurs outside
of application deployment too.
-
The customer requests that the time needed to complete
the listBLAs be reduced and/or that the listBLAs be
removed from the application deploy process if not needed.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of WebSphere Application Server V7.0  *
*                  and V8.0.                                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The AdminTask.listBLAs command          *
*                      requires an excessive amount of time    *
*                      to complete.                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The AdminTask.listBLAs command requires an excessive amount of
time to complete. The amount of excessive time increases as
the total size of EAR files installed on the system increases.

Problem conclusion

The command was performing heavyweight processing not required
in most cases. The logic has been changed to perform the
additional work only when required.

APAR PM55982 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Levels (Fix Packs) 7.0.0.23 and 8.0.0.4 of WebSphere
