PH31692: NOT ALL MESSAGE LISTENERS STARTED IN THE CONTROL REGION AFTER STARTUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Message Driven Beans bound using Listener Ports use a message
  listener in the control region (unless using a non-durable
  subscription), with the MDB processing the message in the
  servant region.
  
  In an environment with multiple Listener Ports configured, an
  issue occurred where the startup of message listeners in the
  control region was not performed for some Listener Ports.  The
  issue occurred during server startup.
  There were no error issued for the non-started listeners.  The
  non-started listeners could be started successfully after
  listener stop/start. This problem occurred intermittently.

  ****************************************************************
  A concurrency issue in the WS390ConnectionBrowserManager
  resulted in omissions in the set of listeners that were
  started.
  

Problem conclusion

• The concurrency issue was resolved so that the complete set
  of listener ports were started.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
  8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.8. For more information, see 'Recommended
