Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Application server startup fails * * after fixpack upgrade with WSVR0009E * * message indicating * * MetadataNotAvailableException * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During application server startup the transaction service tests whether the application server is running as part of a mixed version cluster containing pre-version 7 application servers. A timing window meant that this test may fail and the resulting error caused the application server startup to fail with a WSVR0009E message of the form: WSVR0009E: Error occurred during startup com.ibm.ws.exception.RuntimeError: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.MetadataNotAvailableExcep tion: Base product version for node "myNode" is not available. at com.ibm.ws.wstx.WSTXComponentImpl.isClusterMixedVersion(WSTXComp onentImpl.java:162) at ...
Problem conclusion
The transaction service's isClusterMixedVersion test was modified to handle the situation where the administrative commands failed due to initialization sequencing by handling the exceptions and retrying the commands. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.5.5.16 and 9.0.5.1.
