PH30511: FAILED TO CREATE DYNAMIC CLUSTER AND SEEING LOTS OF WKSP0501I: XX WORKSPACES EXIST IN THE WSTEMP DIRECTORY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the WebSphere Network Deployment environment, there is
  possibility that dynamic cluster creation fails after creating
  multiple workspaces.
  
  Dmgr logs showed a log of
  WKSP0501I: xx workspaces exist in the wstemp directory.
  
  Workspace stack showed a looping indefinitely to a call of
  AdminDatImpl.initialization which cause workspace keep getting
  created and never get clean up.

  During the dynamic cluster creation, there is a possibility that
  WebSphere creates wstemp workspace unnecessarily multiple times
  and fails to create the cluster.
