APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Changes to WAS server configuration did not update. ADMS0003I: The configuration synchronization completed successfully. was printed and there was no other reason to think that something failed. In this case, there was actually an error in the transformation code and detailed in FFDC logs. Without this error being externalized, the customer was unable to fix their configuration without IBM assistance.
Local fix
1. Tips for troubleshooting this issue is documented here: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/question/0D50z00005phjmPCAQ/why- am-i-receiving-stackoverflowexception-when-creating-a-new-applic ation-server-on-a-zos-cell?language=en_US 2. Another specific reason is that there are paths defined to JVMs that are not valid. ex. variable.xml files that are using: symbolicName="JAVA_HOME" value="${JAVA_LOCATION_1.7_64}" where JAVA_LOCATION_1.7_64 is no longer in use. The error details can be seen by reviewing FFDC files: FFDC Exception:java.lang.Exception SourceId:com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv.generate ProbeId:86 Reporter:com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv@c5076644 java.lang.Exception: Failed to get sdk bit information. at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv.getSDKBitUsed(WASEnv.java: 473) at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv.handleAgentlib(WASEnv.java :503) at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv.generateFiles(WASEnv.java: 331) at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.WASEnv.generate(WASEnv.java:108) at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.Config2Native.transform(Config2Na tive.java:210) at com.ibm.ws.management.util.zos.Config2Native.transform(Config2Na tive.java:182)
