Local fix

• L3-Mig provided Solution(Alex Motley):
  The root cause for the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is the
  empty xml file located at /opt/IBM/WAS/profiles/AppSrv01/config
  /cells/corp285Node01Cell/nodes/corp285Node01/servers/nodeagent/
  server.xml(we try to load the encoding at the beginning of the f
  given it is empty there is nothing in the array). Given this
  appears to be a base install it is odd to see that node agent
  there. It seems like it was partially deleted, since the only
  file in the /opt/IBM/WAS/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/corp285
  Node01Cell/nodes/corp285Node01/servers/nodeagentdirectory is tha
  references to the nodeagent in the files for the corp285Node01
  node.
  
  The customer should be able to delete the empty /opt/IBM/WAS/pr
  ofiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/corp285Node01Cell/nodes/corp285Nod
  e01/servers/nodeagent/server.xmlfile and /opt/IBM/WAS/profiles/A
  e01Cell/nodes/corp285Node01/servers/nodeagentdirectory and retry
