WKSP0008E RepositoryException Saving the Workspace to the Master Configuration
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Getting error 500 when attempting to save the install of
an EAR to the Master Config. Though the install completes successfully, the configuration could not be saved to the Master Configuration because the file extension is reserved by WebSphere Application Server.


Here are the steps that lead to the problem:
The ear file used has extra files with file extension *.orig.

1. Install the enterprise application.
2. When the "installed successfully..." message shows, click the "save to
master configuration" button.
3. Step 2 should complete successfully.
4. From the Enterprise Applications, select the newly deployed application. On the Configuration tab, change the "WAR Classloader Policy" from "Module" to "Application". Click <Apply>.
5. Save the change to the Master Config, Should see the following error logged in the message area of the admin console.

Error 500
An error occurred while processing request: /admin/syncworkspace.do

Message: WKSP0008E RepositoryException while checking the state of
cells/WASADM2/applications/GredeEAR.ear/deployments/GredeEAR/PriceHistoryWeb.war/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml in the master repository

ig.xml.orig --java.io.StreamCorruptedException: InputStream does not
contain a serialized object
 
Cause
The reason for the error was not because of the extra file, but rather
the file extension, *.orig.
 
Resolving the problem

The file extension, *.org is reserved by WebSphere Application Server.
By calling 'save', workspace invokes sync process on the master
repository to save the new changes. Before new changes are committed
in the master repository, existing files being replaced are backed up
and renamed with .orig file extension.
Customer would be able to have backed up files, but should consider a
different extension, such as *.bak, *.old etc.
