PM35835: FEDERATING A V7 NODE WITH THE OSGI/JPA2 FEATURE PACK INSTALLED TO A V8 DEPLOYMENT MANAGER FAILS WITH AN ADMINEXCEPTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Federating a WebSphere Application Server V7 node augmented
  with the OSGi applications feature and/or the JPA 2.0 feature
  with a WebSphere Application Server V8 deployment manager
  fails in the addNode command with an AdminException.
  
  For the OSGi Applications feature:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: addNode
  validation has failed. The OSGi Applications feature is
  installed on this node, but is not installed on the Deployment
  Manager. The Deployment Manager must also have the OSGi
  Applications feature installed. The node has not been added.
  
  For the JPA 2.0 feature:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: addNode
  validation has failed. The JPA 2.0 feature is installed on
  this node, but is not installed on the Deployment Manager. The
  Deployment Manager must also have the JPA 2.0 feature
  installed. The node has not been added.

  ****************************************************************
  A WebSphere Application Server version 7 node augmented with the
  Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and JPA 2.0 does not
  recognise a WebSphere Application Server version 8 deployment
  manager as a valid federation target. As a consequence the
  addNode command fails with an AdminException.
  Depending on whether the OSGi applications feature, the JPA 2.0
  feature or both are installed either of two error messages may
  be displayed:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: addNode
  validation has failed. The JPA 2.0 feature is installed on
  this node, but is not installed on the Deployment Manager. The
  Deployment Manager must also have the JPA 2.0 feature
  installed. The node has not been added.
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: addNode
  validation has failed. The OSGi Applications feature is
  installed on this node, but is not installed on the Deployment
  Manager. The Deployment Manager must also have the OSGi
  Applications feature installed. The node has not been added.
