Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of        *
    *                 version 6.0.2.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Running ./addNode.sh with option        *
    *                      -includeapps results in too many open   *
    *                      files.                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Running the addNode command with -includeapps throws
    java.io.FileNotFoundException with too many open files
    error message. This happens due to the large number
    of files in the workspace which are to be synched with
    the Master Repository.
    DocumentContentSource encapsulates FileInputStream
    for every document in the workspace which needs to
    be synched up with the Master Repository. When there are a
    large number of files to be synched up, a large number of
    open file handles are created which is shown as a java.io.
    FileNotFoundException : too many open files error message
    

Problem conclusion

  • New logic was implemented whereby the FileInputStream are
    opened only when the file is about to be updated to the
    Master Repository thereby preventing too many parallel
    FileInputStream handles.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion
    in fixpack 6.0.2.13  Please refer to the recommended updates
