PH51677: WEBSPHERE DAEMON ABEND=SCC3 REASON=C9C20008

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting two daemons causes a failure to attach to shared memory
  for at least one of them resulting in an ABEND of the daemon.
  

Local fix

• Ensure that only one daemon is started at a time and make sure
  that it has completed start-up before starting other servers
  that might cause a daemon to be started.

  ****************************************************************
  One of two daemons starting at the same time can get an
  abend CC3 reason code C9C20008 because it is not attached to
  the shared memory that was allocated by the other daemon.
  The area that did not get attached to is BBODBGVT_BBOAOCNP.
  Both daemons saw BBODBGVT_BBOAOCNP was zero and were trying to
  set it with CSG. The daemon where the CSG failed continued
  along without attaching to the area created by the other
  daemon.
  This can happen when WAS_DAEMON_ONLY_enable_adapter is set to
  true.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed the code to attach to the shared memory that was
  created by another daemon.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.16. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for
