PM69213: STOP HANGS, NO OTHER INDICATIONS OF STOP PROCESSING

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When a stop is issued there are no other indications of the
stop being processed other that the stop message in the CR job
log. This is prior even to the jvm being told to terminate.
It was found that there were no active transactions but there
were Activities active. Activities can span a very long time
frame. They can include multiple tranactions which are
normally much shorter. The wait on Activities is to be
addressed. Sample message to identify Activities follows.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for z/OS   *
*                      Control region hung after a stop        *
*                      command was issued.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The stop processing for a server on z/OS waits for current
requests, Transactions, and Activities to complete before
shutting down.
Activities, by design, are long running units of work.  An
activity may take days or weeks to complete.  The controller
was waiting for Activities to complete before progressing with
the shutdown of the server.

Problem conclusion

Code has been modified in the stop command function to allow the
shutdown of the server when there are no active requests or
Transactions.  Active Activities will not inhibit the server
from shutting down from a stop command.
