    Paired with the FFDC, a CWOBJ1773I is logged that lists both
    host:port and server names. The server names cause the
    NumberFormationException.
    ServerImpl    I   CWOBJ1773I: This server received an updated
    high availability (HA) defined set from the catalog server,
    version 1 with the set now containing the servers:
    container1,hostname1:52615
    There is a timing window during the server reconnect where the
    sever name is used in the CWOBJ1773I message. The situation
    self corrects and uses the host:port in later logging of the
    message.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The processing of the data listed in the CWOBJ1773I message was
    fixed.
