APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If the SIP Container goes out of view, then comes back into
    view, the TLS connection between the SIP Proxy and the SIP
    Container may not be re-established.
    

Local fix

  • the customer needs to enable SIP Network Outage Detection for
    the SIP Proxy. This will force data over the TCP connection and
    quickly determine if there is a network  issue. Here is a link
    for enabling this feature --->

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)    *
    *                  Proxy                                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a SIP Proxy and SIP Container      *
    *                      are working properly, then the SIP      *
    *                      Container is restarted, the SIP Proxy   *
    *                      may not re-connect to the SIP           *
    *                      Container when it restarts.             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Sometimes, the SIP Proxy does not re-connect to the SIP
    Container after a SIP Container restarts.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The SIP Proxy is not managing its connections to the SIP
    Container properly.   After a SIP Container restart, it should
    re-connect to the SIP Container, but in some instances it does
    not.   The code has been fixed so this is no longer a problem.
    As a work-around, you should enable "SIP Network Outage
    Detection" from the Administrative console.   This will ensure
    that the SIP Proxy manages the connections properly.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6, and 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the
