PM79536: Starting catalog service endpoints in different domains might cause an exception when endpoints have different values.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting a catalog service endpoint in a different catalog
  service domain creates an exception similar to the following
  example:
  
  
  CatalogEndpoi E
  CWOBJ7401E: A
  discrepancy in the catalogServiceEndPoints value was detected.
  The
  catalogServiceEndPoints value must be the same on each catalog
  server.
  This server (USRTPCSD\USRTPCSDASA02\QR10USRTPA02) will be
  stopped.
  Exception detected: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Value of
  "catalogServiceEndPoints" property/argument must be consistent
  across
  catalog servers. USRTPCSD\USRTPCSDASA02\QR10USRTPA02 (this
  server) =
  USRTPCSD\USRTPCSDASA01\QR10USRTPA01:USRTPCSDASA01.rtp.raleigh.ib

Local fix

• Having different core groups for each catalog service domain
  works around the problem.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users running multiple catalog service      *
  *                  domains from eXtreme Scale inside of        *
  *                  WebSphere Application Server.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A discrepancy error occurs if the       *
  *                      catalog service domain name and         *
  *                      endpoints are not the same in all       *
  *                      catalog service domains.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A check might prevent you from having multiple catalog server
  domains start with different endoints. However, this
  configuration is valid.
  

Problem conclusion

• For the case of having different catalog service domain names,
  different endpoints can be configured.  These servers will not
  be prevented from starting.
