Websphere Application Server fails to start after SDK upgrade
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
An error occurs while starting the Deployment Manager, Nodeagent, or IBM® WebSphere® Application Server after upgrading the Java™ SDK:

JVMXM008: Error occurred while initializing System ClassException in
thread "main". Could not create the Java virtual machine.

JVMCI161: FATAL ERROR in native method: Try to invoke an instance
method as a static method
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<clinit>(ZipFile.java:79)
at com.ibm.jvm.io.LocalizedInputStream.getZipFileInputStreamClass(Native Method)
at com.ibm.jvm.io.LocalizedInputStream.<clinit> (LocalizedInputStream.java:82)
at com.ibm.jvm.io.ConsoleInputStream.localize (ConsoleInputStream.java:86)
at java.lang.System.initializeSystemClass(System.java:955)
JVMDG218: JVM is not fully initialized - will not do dump processing.

 
Cause
Wily Introspect that is configured with Websphere Application Server did not update the AutoProbeConnector.jar file with the current Java SDK information.
Whenever the Java SDK is updated, the AutoProbeConnector needs to be re-created for Wily.
 
Resolving the problem
Perform the following from a command prompt:
C:\WebSphere\AppServer\wily532\connectors>C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\
bin\java -jar CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar -current -output AutoProbeConnector.jar

Output should look like:

8/12/05 10:58:33 AM PDT [INFO] [Creator] AutoProbe Connector Creation Utility Release 5.3.2 (Build 170311)

The AutoProbe Connector was successfully created at C:\Work\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\wily532\connectors\AutoProbeConnector.jar.


After performing the above, restart the Deployment Manager, Nodeagent, or Application Server.
