Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RPA is failing to refresh * * "dynamicCache" service configuration * * from Z/OS ODR servers and causing * * NullPointerException. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The issue is that Z/OS specific ODR server throws NullPointerException while reading the "dynamicCache" service configuration from its server.xml. This is because, RPA checks "dynamicCache" service in ApplicationServer component's services list rather than in services list at scope of server.
Problem conclusion
The code which retrieves DynamicCache service for ODRs in Z/OS, has been modified in such a way that dyanmicCache service will be fetched from services list at scope of server and so avoiding NPE. APAR PM92326 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.8, and 8.5.5.2 of WebSphere Application Server. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 In addition, please refer to URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack PTF information.
