PQ94334: ADDNODE UTILITY RETURNS WITHOUT INDICATING ERROR (RETURN CODE ZERO). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description AddNode utility returns without indicating error (return code zero). However, the related logs indicate that errors/exceptions occurred. Reporting of problem via error codes is incorrect. The result of this is that if the Customer does not review the logs, then they may continue operation without knowing that addnode had actually failed. This would be of particular note should set-up be undertaken programmatically.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: This problem affects customers who use the * * addNode script provided with WebSphere * * Application Server (Network Deploy) Version * * 5.x and 60. Also, MQ systems on OS/400. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Exception catch statement blocks did * * not update method return code. Thus * * propagation of incorrect return code * * would result in user observing zero * * return code from execution, whilst * * logs indicated errors. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Upon handling an exception, the method return code was not updated correctly in all feasible paths. Thus it was possible for program to (incorrectly) complete with zero return code, whilst errors are reported in logs.Problem conclusion Minor alterations required to source trees for various releases to ensure that return codes are correctly updated. Simplified logical flow through methods to assist program analysis; added debug statement blocks to assist future servicing of product.Temporary fix Comments
