Problem(Abstract) |
While applying Fix Pack 1 to a remote Web server, the
process fails when attempting to update the config.templates component.
This affects the plug-in-only installation, which is typically applied to
remote Web servers. |
|
|
|
Cause |
A descriptor file in the Fix Pack 1 repository incorrectly
instructs the updateInstaller to update the config.templates
component, even when it is applied to a WebSphere® Application Server
plug-in-only installation. Plug-in-only installations are typically
installed on remote Web servers.
Error 195 -- Exception retrieving instance data : null java.lan
g.NullPointerException at
com.ibm.websphere.update.delta.earutils.InstanceData.prepareNod
eData(InstanceData.java:320) at
com.ibm.websphere.update.delta.earutils.InstanceData.prepare(In
stanceData.java:196)
Note that the error might also report Error 196.
Also note that the
install_root/properties/version/log directory is
used by older versions of the updateInstaller, including the versions that
exhibit this issue. Newer versions of the updateInstaller, which have
resolved this issue, write the logs to
install_root/logs/update. |

|
Resolving the
problem |
This issue is resolved in new versions of the
updateInstaller, which can be downloaded
from the support site. The latest version of the updateInstaller
corrects this issue specific to Fix Pack 1. |
