APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Certain properties defined in bootstrap.properties do not take effect at runtime when the server is started with the com.ibm.wsspi.kernel.embeddable.ServerBuilder SPI that is used by some products that embed Liberty. Note that this does not affect Liberty when used as a standalone product. The errors that are generated will vary depending on which bootstrap property did not take effect during runtime.
Local fix
Specify the property directly as a JVM System Property instead of using bootstrap.properties. The process for doing this may vary based on which embedding product is being used. For example, this can be accomplished in z/OS Connect EE by following the instructions at this dwAnswers link https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/351636/%7B%7D/
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Certain properties defined in * * bootstrap.properties do not take effect * * at runtime when the server is started * * with the * * com.ibm.wsspi.kernel.embeddable.ServerB * * uilder SPI that is used by some * * products that embed Liberty. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Liberty provides an SPI for embedders to use, com.ibm.wsspi.kernel.embeddable.ServerBuilder, that allows a Liberty server to be started programmatically inside an existing JVM. When Liberty is started this way, certain bootstrap properties such as com.ibm.ws.tcpchannel.useZosAio, com.ibm.ws.zos.core.angelRequired, and com.ibm.ws.zos.core.angelName are not properly read by the runtime and therefore do not take effect when specified. Note that this does NOT affect Liberty when used as a standalone product, nor does it affect every embedder of Liberty, because not all embedders use this SPI to start the Liberty server.
Problem conclusion
Code was changed so that com.ibm.ws.tcpchannel.useZosAio, com.ibm.ws.zos.core.angelRequired, and com.ibm.ws.zos.core.angelName take effect when the Liberty server is started inside an existing JVM using the ServerBuilder SPI. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 17.0.0.3.
