Error description
Customer installed an application in a mixed cell environment, where the Deployment Manager is at WebSphere Application Server v8.0.0.4, and the node is at WebSphere Application Server v6.1.0.35. After the application deployment, customer performed syncNode but the node's installedApps directory did not update. The following exception occurred in the nodeagent's SystemOut: AppSyncUtils E CWWMA7005E: An unexpected exception occurred while loading resource cells/<cellName>/applications/<application.ear>/deployments/ <application>/deployment.xml from the repository. This error causes problems in using this resource for application synchronization logic. AppDataMgr 3 updateDeplData failed: java.lang.NullPointerException The deployment.xml file also contained the following entry: <defaultCookieSettings xmi:id="Cookie_1350976409838" maximumAge="-1" path="/ecoa" secure="false" httpOnly="true"/> It appears that the 'HttpOnly' is an unsupported attribute in the deployment.xml for v61 nodes. The xml is not being properly transfored to remove it prior to being sent down to the v61 node. Environment: ------------ WebSphere Application Server: version 8.0.0.4 and version 6.1.0.35 Platform: distributed
Local fix
WorkAround #1: use earExpander command after the syncNode so that it will expand the ear to the node's installedApps directory. See the info center link for more detail on the EARexapander command: http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=m att&product=was-express-dist&topic=rxml_earexpander WorkAround #2: manually edit the deployment.xml file on the deployment manager and remove the 'HttpOnly' attribute. For example: 1. stop the deployment manager 2. manually edit the deployment.xml file under: (applications\<application Name>\deployments\<application ear name>\deployment.xml) 3. start the deployment manager 4. run syncNode.sh/bat on the node 5. start the nodeagent WorkAround #3: 1. make a backup copy of the application.xsl file under the ..\profiles\Dmgr01\config\xforms\6.1.x 2. edit the application.xsl file and add the following entry: <!-- Remove any 'httpOnly' attribute from the cookie configuration. This was not supported pre-V8. --><xsl:template match="appdeployment:Deployment/deployedObject/modules/configs/s essionManagement/defaultCookieSettings/@httpOnly"/>

Problem conclusion
Changes were made to the System Management to provide a deployment transform to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 or 7.0 nodes when Deployment Manager is at WebSphere Application Server Version 8 or 8.5. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1.
