APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If the server process (deployment manager or standalone server)
hangs during the save process for an enterprise application
deployment, 0 byte files will be created and left in the
configuration repository. This will cause corruption in the
repository, leading to problems such as plugin re-generator
failure and unusable applications.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server v5.x users *
* who deploy enterprise applications *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When saving the deployment of an *
* enterprise application into the *
* Application Server configuration *
* repository, the save operation could *
* hung due to a file locking error (see *
* APAR
PK00348 for details on the hang *
* problem). When this happens, a 0 byte *
* file would be created and left in the *
* repository, corrupting the repository. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The repository code created an empty file first, then tried to
retrieve a file write lock. If there was a problem retrieving
the file write lock and the process hung, the empty file
would be left in the repository. When the process was killed
and restarted afterwards, the repository would be corrupted
and operations like plugin regeneration could fail.
Problem conclusion
Improved the repository code to retrieve the file write lock
before creating an empty file for write. This prevents the 0
byte file from being created and left in the repository in
the event the file write lock could not be obtained. For
the fix to the file write lock problem, see APAR
PK00348.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpacks 5.0.2.10 and 5.1.1.4 Please refer to the Recommended
