Error description
A NullPointerException occurs during transaction recovery processing when recovering the CompensationService. The NullPointerException results in FFDC and message WTRN0005W in the SystemOut logs indicating that a problem may have occurred with the transaction recovery. An example of the WTRN0005W message including a typical callstack are given below: [7/5/15 18:29:36:531 EDT] 00000031 XARecoveryDat E BBOO0220E: WTRN0005W: The XAResource for a transaction participant could not be recreated and transaction recovery may not be able to complete properly. The resource was com.ibm.ws.cscope.CScopeXAResourceInfo@1c501c50. The exception stack trace follows: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.cscope.CScopeXAResourceFactory.getXAResource(CScopeXA ResourceFactory.java:91) at com.ibm.ws.Transaction.JTA.XARecoveryData.getXARminst(XARecovery Data.java:444) at com.ibm.ws.Transaction.JTA.XARecoveryData.recover(XARecoveryData .java:573) at com.ibm.ws390.tx.XARecoveryAgentImpl.rollbackUnknownTransactions (XARecoveryAgentImpl.java:732) at com.ibm.ws390.tx.XARecoveryAgentImpl$XARecoveryAgentThread.run(X ARecoveryAgentImpl.java:359)

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * the compensation service. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException occurs during * * transaction recovery processing when * * recovering a compensation service * * resource. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem occurs when the transaction service attempts to recover a compensation service resource when the compensation service is not yet initialized. The transaction service treats the failure as transient so recovery of the the compensation service resource will be retried and once the compensation service completes initialization the recovery process succeeds. The condition indicated by the NullPointerException is therefore transient and benign, however the presence of the WTRN0005W message and the FFDC output is confusing and gives the impression that there is an issue with recovery.
Problem conclusion
The compensation service resource was modified so that it reported the transient condition correctly: The WTRN0005W message is no longer generated and the FFDC indicates a transient condition rather than a NullPointerException. APAR PI45319 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.12 and 8.5.5.8 of WebSphere Application Server. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 In addition, please refer to URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack PTF information.
Temporary fix
The condition is transient and benign and can be ignored.
