Application servers in a Network Deployment cell might fail to start if runtime provisioning is enabled

Troubleshooting


Problem

If runtime provisioning is enabled in IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, application servers in a Network Deployment cell might fail to start.

Symptom

The application-server output contains an error similar to the following:

CWXCS0200E: Method CSSZOSServantToControlProxyWrapper.register
ServantServiceInControlRegion: caught exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ws.xd.giop.interceptor
.IBM_WVE_FLOW_MANAGEMENT (initialization failure)

(ObjectImpl.java:484)

Environment

The problem only affects application servers in a Network Deployment cell.

Resolving The Problem

To avoid this problem, follow these guidelines:

  • When you use the Profile Management Tool (for z/OS only) to create an application server that will be federated into a Network Deployment cell, do not set the performance option to Peak.

  • In the administrative console, do not select Start components as needed for an application server in a Network Deployment cell.

  • Do not use scripting to turn on runtime server provisioning for an application server in a Network Deployment cell.

To correct problems with a failing server, de-select Start components as needed in the administrative console page for the failing application server.

Note: You can optionally install Version 8.5.0.1 to resolve this issue.
