Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All z/OS WebSphere Application Server * * Network Deployment customers who change * * the autoRestart property to true and do * * stopImmediate on the server. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Running stopImmediate for a server on * * z/OS with autoRestart set to true * * will restart the server. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The node agent will restart the server after stopImmediate is run on z/OS when autoRestart is set to true because the PID file is not removed.
Problem conclusion
Remove the PID file when stopImmediate is run on a server and the cell level custom property com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid is set to true on z/OS. This happens automatically on distributed platforms but not on z/OS. This prevents the node agent from restarting the server. APAR PM15744 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 changes to the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Information Center will be made available in June, 2010. The following description of the com.ibm.websphere.process.teminator.deletepid custom property will be added to the "Cell custom properties" topic: com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid By default, the autoRestart attribute for the server monitoring policy is set to false because the Automatic Restart Management (ARM) is typically used to manage automatic restarts of the application servers. The autoRestart attribute for the server monitoring policy is defined in the server.xml file. If you do not want to use ARM to manage your server automatic restarts, and you changed the setting for the autoRestart attribute to true, you must also add the com.ibm.websphere.process.teminator.deletepid cell custom property to your cell configuration settings and set this property to true. If you only change the setting on the autoRestart attribute, the server keeps restarting in response to a stopImmediate command. Property com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid Data type Boolean Default False APAR PM15744 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.11 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
