Error description
Once we are in BBOASREG, we try to load ECESPRHT, which is an IMS resource route table (DFSRRT). This is the specific pointer which is null, and results in an eventual branch to an invalid address. Because the dependant region is not finished initialization. This causes the abend 0C4. This is a WOLA client routine that performs a WOLA registration. In this case it is running in an IMS dependent region, during an IMS pre-initialization exit. The call to BBOA1REG is successful if it driven after dependent region has finished initialization. The IMS documentation for pre-initialization exits declares that DL/I calls are not available in these routines. WOLA is attempting to make a DL/I call inside of BBOA1REG, and this is the code that is in error. The WOLA exit should be modified to check for the presence of ECESPRHT, and if it is not set, the WOLA registration routine can be called without using the IMS DL/I call. For all other WOLA services, an error return and reason code should be returned to the caller, stating that this service is not supported during pre-initialization. This will avoid the ABENDS0C4 that is being reported here. CPU STATUS: PSW=070C1000 85D049BC (Running in PRIMARY, key 0, AMODE 31, DAT ON) DISABLED FOR PER ASID(X'01F8') 05D049BC.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An ABENDS0C4 occurs when calling WOLA * * service BBOA1REG during IMS pre-init * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During an IMS pre-initialization exit, an ABENDS0C4 occurs when WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters service BBOA1REG is invoked. The IMS environment is not fully initialized at this time and a required control block had not been created yet.
Problem conclusion
Code was added to allow BBOA1REG to be called during an IMS pre-initialization exit. APAR PM87662 requires changes to documentation. NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our Web site, so the changes might have been made before you read this text. To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the product library page at: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library The following update to the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Information Center will be made available in December 2013. Tables 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26, in the topic "Optimized local adapters for z/OS APIs" will be updated to include the he following reason code information for Return Code 8: Reason Code 96 Description This API cannot be driven during Information Management System (IMS) initialization or during an IMS pre-initialization exit. Action Call this API after IMS initialization is complete. APAR PM87662 is currently targeted for inclusion in WebSphere Application Server Fix Packs 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.7, and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere Application Server. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
