APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the Liberty profile is configured with a local bundle
  repository it is possible that during server startup two
  threads attempt to process the same XML configuration file
  resulting in the generation of a FFDC. Applications will
  still be provisioned successfully from the bundle
  repository.

  When the Liberty profile is configured with a local bundle
  repository, it is possible that during server startup, internal
  service restarts will result in two threads attempting to
  process the same XML configuration file. This causes the
  generation of a FFDC but applications will still be provisioned
  successfully from the bundle repository.

Problem conclusion

• Internal service restarts during the overall Liberty server
  startup are now handled correctly and no FFDC is generated.
