Cause
The file extension .orig was used as a backup extension name for the file server.xml.orig under this directory:

/WAS_HOME/config/cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/myserver
 
Resolving the problem
The file extension .orig is a WebSphere® reserved keyword and is not a valid extension for any configuration xml file within WebSphere configuration. For this instance, server.xml.orig had been named as a backup file for server.xml.

Use different extensions, for example .old , .bak and so on when backing up the files.

The issue was resolved by renaming server.xml.orig file to server.xml.bak under /WAS_HOME/config/cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/myserver resolved this issue .
