  ****************************************************************
  The post install config action updateOdrServerXml.ant might
  fail on upgrading from WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.x
  to WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 when the following
  configurations are in place -
  1. Two profiles, deployment manager and application server
  exist, and the appserver profile is the default profile.  The
  post install config action will fail.
  2. Two profiles, both are deployment managers; there will be no
  error, but the post install will be run against only the
  default profile.
  Because of the failure, the ODR server template would miss the
  "-agentlib:HeapDetect" setting that indicates the user
  installed V8.5.0.0.  On a V8.5.0.1 and V8.5.0.2 system,
  the ODR server template is correct and the failure of this
  action will not affect anything.
  

Problem conclusion

• The appearance of this problem was due to the change in
  initiation OSGI mechanism on running a post install config
  action.  The correction was to reset the OSGI cache against
  each dmgr profile space prior to running this post install
  config action.  Note that this case will only impact a very
  small number of users, if any.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
