APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In this scenario the client was attempting to roll back mgmt server to a restore point. Once they did this mgmt started the DRR process as expected. When GWD received the cloud snapshot GWD call dynamicReconfiguration which sets the DRR flag for the GatewayExtensionDeployer. This also pubsubs the event which ultimately ends up calling _dynamicReconfiguration. In this function, since INITIALIZED is already set to true we skip calling updateDynamicReconfigurationStatus(true); which means DYNAMIC_RECONFIG_PENDING never gets set to true. So when the DRR is complete and we call updateDynamicReconfigurationStatus to finally complete the extension create we have: DYNAMIC_RECONFIG_PENDING = false && pending = false This means we never release the DRR pending flag we set in the dynamicReconfiguration call and can not complete initialization. The only way to work around this is by forcing a brain dead scenario by restarting all pods/GWs at the same time.
