Troubleshooting
Problem
Repeated installation of the IBM IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector (IMS Connector) may cause the OSGi cache to get out of sync.
Symptom
Occasionally, users might experience a problem where the Diameter transport channels fail to load during server startup. This problem can happen when the user uninstalls and then reinstalls the IMS Connector or when an IMS Connector fixpack is applied.
The exception in the WebSphere SystemOut.log file looks like the following:

Cause
The Diameter base is included in an OSGi bundle. The act of uninstalling and reinstalling, or of installing a fixpack, can cause the OSGi cache to get out of sync. To resolve, the OSGi cache needs to be cleared and reinitialized.
Resolving The Problem
Clear the OSGI cache using the following instructions:
1. Stop WebSphere Application Server if it is running.
2. From the was_profile_root/bin directory run the osgiCfgInit.sh script. For example:
- cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin
- ./osgiCfgInit.sh
3. Start WebSphere Application Server.
Note: Depending on where WebSphere Application Server is installed, the path may be different from the example above.
