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"
