IBM WebSphere Application Server does not start. Ends attempting to start the broker.
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Attempting to start the Application Server but it crashes. The last line of the systemout.log shows:

MSGS0052I: Starting the Broker

A javacore is produced it shows:

2XMFULLTHDDUMP Full thread dump Classic VM (J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build
3XMTHREADINFO "BrokerDFEThread" (TID:0x10B18168, sys_thread_t:
4XESTACKTRACE at com.ibm.broker.server.DataFlowEngine.start
4XESTACKTRACE at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)
 
Cause
Attempting to start the broker but JMS is not being used.
 
Resolving the problem
The work around for this problem is to change the configuration of this application server so JMS is not started. This is done by modifying the server.xml file,
<Was_install>/config/cells/<cellname>/nodes/<nodename>/servers/<servername>/server.xml.

Modify this entry:
-
<components xmi:type="messagingserver:JMSServer" xmi:id="JMSServer_1"
<queueNames>PlantsByWebSphereQ</queueNames>
<queueNames>Sample.JMS.Q1</queueNames>
<queueNames>Sample.JMS.Q2</queueNames>
<stateManagement xmi:id="StateManageable_4" initialState="START"/>
<securityPort xmi:id="Address_3" host="localhost" port="5557"/>
</components>
-
Change initialState="START" to initialState="STOPPED".
-
Start the application server.
