I have had reports of ARSSOCKD hanging.
It appears to be caused by application of either of the following:
OA43472 PEAPAR of UA67692 <<-- Unresolved
OA43472 PEAPAR of UA67735 <<-- Unresolved
Until I update this thread or OA43472 is resolved I recommend you consider what it might take to back off those PTFs.
From OA43472:
A second problem is a JVM failure where a thread created
by the JVM appears to be successfully created but never
actually runs. pthread_create() returns
successfully, and the populated pthread_t looks like a
reasonable value, but the thread's start_routine never executes.

Further investigation shows this is not confined to just those with either of those two PE PTFs applied.
Current planning is that the final PTF for the PE's will include a fix for the hang problem and the fix for the PE...there'll really be two fixes within the final PTF.

APAR OA43472 has closed. PTFs are
