Error description

  • Creating a WebSphere Commerce Instance on Solaris fails when
WebSphere Application Server's SDK fix pack 7.0.0.19 or higher
is used

In createInstanceANT.log you see the following error:

was.policy file:

Local fix

  • Do not apply the SDK update that was included with WebSphere
Application Server fix pack 7.0.0.19.  You may apply it after
the instance has been created successfully

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Commerce users in Solaris who have applied the SDK
update that was included in WebSphere Application Server fix
pack 7.0.0.19 or higher and need to create a new WebSphere
Commerce Instance.

PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
Solaris: Instance creation errors with WebSphere Application
Server 7.0.0.19 and higher

BUSINESS IMPACT:
This problem can delay WebSphere Commerce Installation time

RECOMMENDATION

Problem conclusion

  • The SDK update that is included with WebSphere Application
Server fix pack 7.0.0.19 includes an new version of the Java
SDK.  It updates the JVM to version SR9 FP2.  The java version
output is as below:
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (IBM build
1.6.0_26-b03 08_Jun_2011_11_08 solaris sparcv9 (SR9 FP2))
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)
IBM Java ORB build orb60-20100825.00
XML build XL TXE Java 1.0.25
XML build IBM JAXP 1.4.6
XML build XML4J 4.5.15

IBM has confirmed that the issue does not occur when using JVM
SR9 FP1 or earlier.

With this new JVM version the permanent space fills up while
executing one of the forked Java processes.  There is a slight
increase in usage of the permanent space due to changes in
garbage collection in the new Java SDK version, causing the
default maximum available permanent space to be exhausted during
WebSphere Commerce instance creation.  To address this issue,
the java process is allocated a moderately increased maximum
permanent space, resolving the OutOfMemory error that caused
WebSphere Commerce instance creation to fail.
