Error description

An application installed in WebSphere Application Server for
z/OS is using the WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA) to
make a call to IMS.  An error response is received, and the
error is reported as a problem in OTMA service
otma_send_receivex.  The following string is set into the
exception object received by the WebSphere application:
BBOA7102E Error in OTMA_SEND_RECEIVEX call. Rc/Rsn: 0000000C
00000008 00000008 00000218

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.0 and V8.5 for z/OS               *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WOLA incorrectly reports RC=C RSN=8     *
*                      (hex) on OTMA_SEND_RECEIVEX service.    *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When using the WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA)
feature of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, calls to IMS
services may fail with the following message:
BBOA7102E Error in OTMA_SEND_RECEIVEX call. Rc/Rsn: 0000000C
00000008 00000008 00000218
IMS attempted to send an IMS message describing the failure,
and set the return code to 0x00000014.  However the buffer
that WebSphere supplied to copy the error message into was not
valid.  Therefore the original error information was not
captured.  The resulting return code 0x0000000C and reason
code 0x00000008 describes the condition where the buffer
address was not valid.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to pass a valid error message buffer address to
IMS on the OTMA_SEND_RECEIVEX call.

APAR PM90537 is currently targeted for inclusion in WebSphere
Application Server Fix Packs 8.0.0.8, and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere
