There was no OS upgrade or PTF applied on our systems since the problem
started, I do not know about clients. We run v5r3, v5r4, and v5r6 here and
support back to v5r2 for our customer base. RPG invokes the jvm and sets
the class path and environmental variables and begins and ends the object
group. RPG calls the methods within an instantiated object. Before any
upgrades locks on all rpg objects are checked and the upgrade will not
continue if it cannot allocate all objects. The basic processing on the rpg
side has been the same for a number of years. Some java methods were
connecting to the iSeries for data retrieval.

Subject: RE: .jar files in use on a restore
I think the connection pool is a red herring. The problem probably has more
to do with an OS upgrade or PTF applied in the last year. I'd need to know a
lot more to offer any other suggestions. What OS version? What kind of
programs use the jar files? How is the jvm invoked? Where does the rpg
program enter the picture? Is the rpg program calling methods on objects in
the jar files? Do you stop all instances of the rpg program before
attempting to replace the jar files?

Subject: .jar files in use on a restore
Recently we have run into an issue when trying to run upgrades of our
software. I have a clle program that does a restore to an ifs directory
with new .jar files. There have been instances lately where objects have
not been restored because they are in use. Speaking with our java
programmers I did learn that there was a change made in the past year to
create a connection pool and keep it open for a longer period of time for
performance enhancing reasons. Doing some testing, we removed the
connection and are now sending the data from the rpg programs to the java
methods. We are still finding that the .jar files stay in a "in use" state.
Can anyone tell me how we might get around this or why this seems to be
happening all of a sudden? We even did a simple test adding a classpath of
3 .jar files and running 2 programs, the first opens a connection and prints
and the second closes the connection. Those 3 files still are in use and
unable to run a restore against.
