Error description
Propagation of plugin-key.kdb (Copy button in console under webserver>Plug-in Properties) fails for a managed webserver definition where the WAS Node and webserver are remote from DMGR. While the file appears to have been copied from DMGR to the remote Node the copy from remote node config repository to the webserver location defined in plugin-cfg.xml does not complete. Tracing suggested the Node Sync process used to copy the file to the remote node was not complete before the Plugin auto prop code at the remote node started to try and do the local copy at the remote node from remote node config repository to the webserver location defined in plugin-cfg.xml.
Local fix
Manual copy of plugin-key.kdb
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Remote node plugin-key.kdb isn't * * propagated to webserver location. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Occasionally it is seen that when the plugin is attempting to copy the plugin-key.kdb from the remote node's repository location, an error is produced indicating it isn't able to read the server.xml file. In those cases, the node sync associated with the server.xml update had not completed at the time propagation was in process.
Problem conclusion
The plugin code has be modified to have a node sync monitor which ensures that the node sync is complete before attempting the propagation processing. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17 & 9.0.5.3.
