APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Command generated using administrative console command line
  assistance failed to run in the wsadmin adminclient.
  
  
  "Performance Monitoring Infrastructure > server1 >
  Runtime > Custom >Thread pools > Default" -  then enabled a
  couple of PMI indicators which were disabled.
  
  The following statement will be generated in the command
  assistance log file for this operation:
  
  AdminControl.invoke('WebSphere:name=PerfPrivateMBean,process=ser
  ver1,platform=dynamicproxy,node=Node1,version=8.5.5,
  type=PerfPrivate,mbeanIdentifier=PerfPrivateMBean,cell=PSCell1,
  spec=1.0', 'updatePMIConfig', '[[threadPoolModule Default]
  threadPoolModule [3 4 9 5 10] [] true]', '[[Ljava.lang.String;
  java.lang.String [Ljava.lang.  Integer; [Ljava.lang.Integer;
  java.lang.Boolean]')
  
  Try this as part of a Jython script - this will fail with
  error WASX7017E: Exception received while running file
  "c:\test.
  py"; exception information:
  java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:
  java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
  
  
  Other components like object pools will also result in the same
  StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
  

Local fix

• AdminControl.invoke('WebSphere:name=PerfPrivateMBean,process=ser
  ver1,platform=dynamicproxy,node=Node1,version=8.5.5.1,
  type=PerfPrivate,mbeanIdentifier=PerfPrivateMBean,cell=PSCell1,
  spec=1.0', "updatePMIConfig",'[[threadPoolModule Default]
  threadPoolModule [3 4 9 5 10] [] true]')

  ****************************************************************
  The command assistance provided by the administrative console
  for invoke commands includes the signature as the last
  parameter.  AdminControl.invoke fails when the signature is
  provided.
  

Problem conclusion

• The console no longer includes the signature as a parameter
  for AdminControl.invoke().
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.7.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
