Error description
Current Pool size value is bigger than Max number of thread in the ORB.thread.pool. For example current thread value should not be higher than the upperBound thread value. highWaterMark=12, current=24, integral=8.6256658E7, lowerBound=12, upperBound=12
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: UpperBound value of poolSize PMI * * counter * * for ORB ThreadPool shows incorrect * * value. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In a z/OS environment when aggregation process is performed for different servants the current value of poolsize is considered for aggregation but the upperbound which represents Max number of threads in pool was not considered for aggregation which resulted in a scenario where Current Pool Size was bigger than the Max PoolSize
Problem conclusion
Code has been updated to make sure both the upperBound and Current values of the ORB ThreadPool are in sync. APAR PM66368 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere Application Server.
