APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When issuing F <server>,DUMP,INCLUDE=THREAD for a z/OS Liberty server, a javacore is created and added to the dump zip. The javacore is created with the default system encoding, and won't be converted when moved to a system with a different encoding, since it is inside the dump zip. This makes the javacore file unreadable if viewed on any non-z/OS system.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty Profile for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JAVACORE FILE IS PACKAGED INTO THE * * SERVER DUMP IN AN INCORRECT ENCODING * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When issuing F <server>,DUMP,INCLUDE=THREAD for a Liberty profile server on z/OS, a javacore file is created and included in the dump archive. The javacore file is created with the default system encoding, and will not be automatically converted when transferred to a system with a different encoding. This makes the javacore file unreadable on any non-z/OS systems unless it is manually converted.
Problem conclusion
Dump processing has been changed to automatically convert javacore files generated through use of the DUMP modify command to be converted to ASCII encoding before being packaged in the dump archive. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.3.
