PM13680: ADMA7024E MESSAGE INDICATING APPLICATION ERROR CAN OCCUR WHEN THE NODE AGENT IS RESTARTED DURING APPLICATION EXPANSION.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an application is deployed, the node synchronization
  process will install the application files in the nodeconfig. In
  the expansion phase, the <applname>.marker file is created in
  directory wstemp/appsync. If the Node Agent is stopped during
  the expansion phase, the marker file is not altered to indicate
  that a problem occurred, and expansion of the application files
  does not complete when the Node Agent is restarted.
  The marker file is created with a value of '0', indicating that
  the expansion is in progress, and is deleted after expansion
  completed successfully. If an error occurred, the marker file
  should contain a non-zero value, so the retry code running after
  the Node agent started would know that it has to complete the
  app expansion. In the failure case the marker file still existed
  and contained a value of zero, so expansion for this app did not
  continue.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Network    *
  *                  Deployment users of V7.0                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Failed application expansions are not   *
  *                      re-expanded.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Applications deployed in WebSphere Application Server
  environment are expanded to a binaries directory. If the
  expansion fails to complete in a Network Deployment
  environment, expansion is restarted in the next node
  synchronization cycle. Expansion restart is not triggered for
  some failures.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix will trigger expansion for all applications for which
  expansion previously failed.
  
  APAR PM13680 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.13 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
