Error description
During server start up, Event sequencing is not able to load up certain artifacts and hence does not start properly. This in turn effects modules using event sequencing and these modules do not function correctly. The error seen is as below in FFDC. java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.al.scope.ALScopeImpl$1.run(ALScopeImpl.java:250) at com.ibm.ws.al.scope.ALScopeImpl$1.run(ALScopeImpl.java:248) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.jav a:229) at com.ibm.ws.al.scope.ALScopeImpl.getCatalog(ALScopeImpl.java:248) at com.ibm.ws.al.scope.ScopeContextImpl.getCatalog(ScopeContextImpl .java:14 3) at com.ibm.ws.al.ScopeContextAdapter.queryURLs(ScopeContextAdapter. java:141 ) at com.ibm.ws.al.ArtifactLoaderAdapter.queryURLs(ArtifactLoaderAdap ter.java :83) at com.ibm.ws.monitoring.utils.ModelLocator.locateArtifactByAL(Mode lLocator .java:146) at com.ibm.ws.monitoring.core.EventNatures.getEventNaturesForCompon entType( EventNatures.java:124) at com.ibm.ws.monitoring.core.MonitorFactory.load(MonitorFactory.ja va:81) at com.ibm.ws.monitoring.core.MonitorFactory.create(MonitorFactory. java:54) at The error thrown in SystemOut.log during server start up is: [3/26/13 10:57:19:775 CDT] 0000003b E com.ibm.ws.monitoring.core.MonitorFactory load() CWLBS0055E: Cannot load event specification of {0}.
