Error description
The customer attempted to create a cluster with two cluster members that have the same name (server_specific_name), but different short names in two different nodes, but the server failed on start with BBOM0057W message and DC3 abend. The server_specific_uuid in was.env of the cluster members has more than the 40-chars limit (the failed server_specific_uuid has 80 chars - to be exact). Here's the symptom: IEF403I DVSR99CS - STARTED - TIME=14.53.33 +BBOM0057W DEFAULT VALUE OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE server_specific_uuid USED. LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 40 CHARACTERS. . +CEE0374C CONDITION=CEE3250C TOKEN=00040CB2 61C3C5C5 00000000 WHILE RUNNING PROGRAM UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF INTERRUPT ...

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V7.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Failure to start a cluster member * * when two cluster members have the * * same name but are in different nodes. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When two cluster members have the same name on different nodes, the cluster members cannot be started. During cluster creation, the configuration save operation generates the server_specific_uuid property incorrectly by concatenating the individual cluster member uuid's together since they have the same name. This causes the startup failure since the server_specific_uuid is limited to 40 characters. The following message is seen in the cluster member's log at startup: BBOM0057W DEFAULT VALUE OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE server_specific_uuid USED. LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 40 CHARACTERS.
Problem conclusion
The code has been fixed to properly generate the server_specific_uuid when more than one cluster member has the same name. This problem exists only on z/OS. APAR PK82690 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
