Error description

  • When a valid generic JVM argument contains a space and is
    defined in the WAS Admin Console, WAS does not properly
    transform it into the servant.jvm.options/control.jvm.options
    file as a single line.
    
    For example:
    -Xdump:tool:events=systhrow,filter=java/lang/OutOfMemoryError,ex
    e c="/web/scripte/dumpinfo.sh %pid"
    
    ends up being saved to the jvm.options file as two lines,
    treating the space between dumpinfo.sh and %pid as a delimiter
    and breaking what should be a single line into two at that
    point.  The result looks like:
    
    -Xdump:tool:events=systhrow,filter=java/lang/OutOfMemoryError,ex
    ec="/web/scripte/dumpinfo.sh
    %pid"
