PM17906: ILLEGALSTATEEXCEPTION: COULD NOT DETERMINE ROOT OID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When deleting an empty virtual portal (i.e. created using
  configuration task "create-virtual-portal"), the cleanup
  mechanism expects application folders to exist, which have not
  been created initially. This results in an
  IllegalStateException
  and prevents further cleanup.
  
  The following exception can be found in "SystemErr.log" after
  an obviously successful removal of the virtual portal:
  
  
  SystemErr     R java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not
  determine root OID. Expected one result from DB query, but
  received [[]].

Problem conclusion

• ApplicationFolderPersister.getRoot() and
  TemplateFolderPersister.getRoot() need to accept empty result
  sets, since they are valid in the context of a virtual portal
  that has been created using the configuration task
  "create-virtual-portal".
