Null pointer exception occurs when a catalog service domain comes back online

Troubleshooting


Problem

When a catalog service domain fails during the replication process, null pointer exceptions occur when the catalog service domain comes back online.

Symptom

An example of the null pointer exception follows:
[5/4/11 0:28:49:658 EDT] , key = org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN com.ibm.ws.objectgrid.replication.PrimaryShardImpl$RevisionQueryHandler.run 175
Exception = org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN
Source = com.ibm.ws.objectgrid.replication.PrimaryShardImpl$RevisionQueryHandler.run
probeid = 175
Stack Dump = org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN:
