    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NullPointerException is thrown when     *
    *                      running deregisterNode.sh wsadmin       *
    *                      script.                                 *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When running deregisterNode.sh on an AdminAgent, a timing
    issue may cause a NullPointerException to be thrown. This
    happens when attempting to look up an environment variable.
    

Problem conclusion

  • If we cannot find the environment variable, we will now make
    sure we did not switch to the managed node context. If we did,
    we will look on the AdminAgent context as well.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
