Error description
The stagingprop utility may end abnormally if a database connection cannot be established due to invalid connection information. In such a scenario the utility may not exit with the correct return code. The stagingprop utility might also not exit with the correct return code if an unexpected (unhandled) exception is encountered during invocation or if the utility is unable to allocate additional space on the heap for processing.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Commerce users on v7.0 utilizing the stagingprop utility PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Stagingprop error code provisions for database connection, OutOfMemoryError and unhandled exception errors BUSINESS IMPACT: In the event that the stagingprop utility fails without returning the correct failure (i.e. non-zero) return code, inconsistencies may arise in the behavior of any business applications that serve as wrappers for the utility. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Implementation of catches for general Exception and OutOfMemoryError throwables in the main method of stagingprop to provide the capability of graceful error exits with a failure (non-zero) return code. In addition, a fix is included to address a NullPointerException that may be generated when an invalid username/password combination is provided to retrieve a Connection object. ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
