PQ43940: OLT STARTS AND IMMEDIATELY CLOSES ON NT


APAR

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
WebSphere 3.5.2 AE
.
Windows NT 4.0 sp 6a
.
db2 6.1
.
On multiple machines, user attempts to start OLT; OLT comes up
briefly
then closes with no warning.  On other NT boxes it runs
successfully; we
have not been able to determine what makes failing machines
different.
.
I have seen same symptom here.   If I edit the olt.bat file to
add
'verbose' to the .java command, I see a series of
class-not-found
exceptions, and all of them seem to relate to a native-interface
or
properties classes. Here's one:

We stumbled across a workaround, which is to rename or delete the C:\Winnt40\profiles\<logon name>\DbgProf directory and restart OLT. . The exceptions may be a red herring, since the workaround fixes the problem even though the exceptions still show up.

Local fix
keep trying on different NT boxes until you find one on which
OLT works.
Problem summary
al customers when they try to start olt,it starts and immediatel
y closes without any error messages.This has been observed on WA
S3.5.2 on NT.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
For some reason two files were corrupted in the logon user's pro
file directory.The 2 files were dertr11j.properties and dertrpan
.ini. in my case they are located in

 D:\WINNT\Profiles\<current logon id>\DbgProf\dertr11j.propertie
 D:\WINNT\Profiles\<current logon id>\DbgProf\dertrpan.ini.

 To fix the problem just rename, or delete, these files and and
restart the olt client.
