Error description
If a job has not been dispatched to an endpoint yet, the BJEE name is null in the JOBSTATUS table. This causes the following NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.batch.SchedulerSingleton.getOwnedJobsInNonFinalState( SchedulerSingleton.java:5231) at com.ibm.ws.gridcontainer.proxy.impl.PortableGridContainerProxyIm pl.synchronizeJobStatusWithEndpoint(PortableGridContainerProxyIm pl.java:333) at com.ibm.ws.gridcontainer.proxy.endpoint.impl.EndpointManagerImpl ._resynchronizeJobStatus(EndpointManagerImpl.java:307) at com.ibm.ws.gridcontainer.proxy.endpoint.impl.EndpointManagerImpl .registerEndpoint(EndpointManagerImpl.java:283) at com.ibm.ws.gridcontainer.proxy.endpoint.impl.EndpointManagerImpl .updateEndpointMetaData(EndpointManagerImpl.java:398) at com.ibm.ws.gridcontainer.proxy.endpoint.impl.EndpointManagerImpl .processEndpointStatusUpdate(EndpointManagerImpl.java:180) ...
