Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server for z/OS V8.0 and V8.5               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WOLA Link Server loses connectivity     *
  *                      to application server after recycle.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA) link server
  permanently loses connectivity to the WebSphere Application
  Server for z/OS server instance that it is connected to, if
  the server instance is recycled while all available link server
  connections are in use.  This is often the case when the link
  server is configured to reuse connections (REU=Y), because the
  individual link server link tasks hold on to the connections
  between requests.
  If the server instance attempts to contact the link server
  after it has been recycled, it will receive an exception with
  CORBA minor code C9C24C30.  This minor code indicates that the
  WOLA registration name that was requested was found, but that
  there were no services being hosted with the service name that
  was requested.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was added to re-establish connectivity with the server
  instance after the server instance is recycled.
  
  APAR PM79156 is currently targeted for inclusion in
  Fix Packs 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2 of WebSphere Application
  Server.
