Websphere Application Server fails to start after SDK upgrade

Troubleshooting


Problem

An error occurs while starting the Deployment Manager, Nodeagent, or IBM WebSphere Application Server after upgrading the Java™ SDK: JVMXM008: Error occurred while initializing System ClassException in thread "main". Could not create the Java virtual machine. JVMCI161: FATAL ERROR in native method: Try to invoke an instance method as a static method at java.util.zip.ZipFile.(ZipFile.java:79) at com.ibm.jvm.io.LocalizedInputStream.getZipFileInputStreamClass (Native Method) at com.ibm.jvm.io.LocalizedInputStream. (LocalizedInputStream.java:82) at com.ibm.jvm.io.ConsoleInputStream.localize (ConsoleInputStream.java:86) at java.lang.System.initializeSystemClass(System.java:955) JVMDG218: JVM is not fully initialized - will not do dump processing.

Cause

Wily Introspect that is configured with Websphere Application Server did not update the AutoProbeConnector.jar file with the current Java SDK information.


Whenever the Java SDK is updated, the AutoProbeConnector needs to be re-created for Wily.

Resolving The Problem

Perform the following from a command prompt:

C:\WebSphere\AppServer\wily532\connectors>C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\
bin\java -jar CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar -current -output AutoProbeConnector.jar

Output should look like:

8/12/05 10:58:33 AM PDT [INFO] [Creator] AutoProbe Connector Creation Utility Release 5.3.2 (Build 170311)
8/12/05 10:58:33 AM PDT [INFO] [Creator] Using Java VM version "Classic VM 1.4.1" from IBM Corporation

The AutoProbe Connector was successfully created at C:\Work\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\wily532\connectors\AutoProbeConnector.jar.

After performing the above, restart the Deployment Manager, Nodeagent, or Application Server.
