APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Synchronization fails with a nullpointer error because this is
validating the file information when this should keep moving all
files to the BASE and not fail. The error message which was
see previously in the nodeagent SystemOut.log is the following:
NodeSyncTask A ADMS0016I: Configuration synchronization failed.
NodeSync E ADMS0005E: Unable to generate synchronization
request: javax.management.RuntimeMBeanException
...
---- Begin backtrace for nested exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
.
With this new design the files will be pushed down so sync
completes.

****************************************************************
The sync operation did not handle NullPointer properly,
causing sync operation to fail.
Problem conclusion
Modified sync code to properly handle null pointer.
Note this APAR is a back port of
PQ84297 to 5.0.x releases.
So for 5.1.x release, the APAR for the same problem is
PQ84297.
For 5.0.x release, the APAR is PQ87845.
