Error description
Randomly when starting a WebSphere server the Control and Servant regions will startup fine, but the Control Region will never complete because the Control Region Adjunct, AKA Adjunct Region, was never kicked off. There was no address space for it, no joblog for it, etc, and you will not see the "Open for e-business" message. The user usually has to cancel the server and start up again, which usually works fine. You will find the following exception with minor code c9c212ab in the joblog: Trace: 2014/03/01 17:53:39.599 01 t=9C34F8 c=0.3 key=S2 (00000005) Description: Catch CORBA system exception exception id: CORBA::INTERNAL minor code: c9c212ab from filename: ./bbgoboat.cpp at line: 3138 org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL: vmcid: 0xc9c21000 minor code: 2AB completed: No at java.lang.J9VMInternals.newInstanceImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:1474) at com.ibm.rmi.util.Utility.readSystemException(Utility.java:1921) at com.ibm.rmi.iiop.CDRReader.readSystemException(CDRReader.java:10 45) at com.ibm.ws390.orb.ClientDelegate.commonInvoke(ClientDelegate.jav a:1260) at com.ibm.ws390.orb.ClientDelegate.invoke(ClientDelegate.java:889) at org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl._invoke(ObjectImpl.java:484) at com.ibm.ws390.orb._ORBSRStub.doOrbSRPing(_ORBSRStub.java:192) at com.ibm.ws390.orb.ControlRegionBridge.start_a_CRA(ControlRegionB ridge.ja va:149) at com.ibm.ws390.orb.ORBEJSBridge.start_a_CRA(ORBEJSBridge.java:586 )

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application server for z/OS * * Adjunct (CRA) may not start. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A timing window during initialization may lead to a rejection of the request with a SystemException with the minor code of C9C212AB. Further, if the request rejected was originated from the "start_a_CRA" method (which can be observed in the stacktrace), then the Adjunct address space will not be started.
Problem conclusion
Code has been added to eliminate the timing window which could cause a SystemException with a minor code of C9C212AB. APAR PI18081 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 7.0.0.35, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.3 of WebSphere Application Server. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 In addition, please refer to URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack PTF information.
