LOCAL FIX:

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Administrative command listServers fails when the node metadata information for a server is not available.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When the administrative listServers command is unable to get the node metadata information for a server in a cell configuration, it fails with a MetadataNotAvailableException:
wsadmin>$AdminTask listServers { -serverType
APPLICATION_SERVER }
WASX7015E: Exception running command: "$AdminTask listServers {
-serverType APPLICATION_SERVER }"; exception information:
com.ibm.websphere.management.cmdframework.CommandException
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.MetadataNotAvailableExcep
tion: specified node name is not valid: null

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
To prevent the administrative command listServers failing with MetadataNotAvailableException, implement the correct server type filter logic in the command implementation.
