![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description When creating a new server using an existing server as a template, and the existing server is a clustered server, the new server fails with a message like: BBOM0053E FOR ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE server_specific_uuid A VALUE MUST BE ASSIGNEDLocal fix Create the new server based on the cluster server in a cluster of it's own. Also, if you find yourself in this situation, in the server.xml file for the new server, you will find a clusterName="..." attribute on the <process:Server...> tag. Modify this attribute by blanking out the clusterName so that it reads clusterName="". Then rerun the transformer, and the was.env will be generated correctly for this server.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When creating a new server using an * * existing server as a template, and the * * existing server is a clustered server, * * the new server fails with a message * * like: * * * * BBOM0053E FOR ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE * * server_specific_uuid A * * VALUE MUST BE ASSIGNED * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a server is based on an existing server, that server becomes the template for the new server. As a result any cluster remains, specifically the clusterName=".." attribute. This causes trouble for the transformer which things the server is clustered and goes looking for the UUID information in the cluster.xml rather than the server.xml.Problem conclusion The problem was fixed by ensuring all new server's created are not clustered, even if their template claims they are. Servers that are meant to be clustered are unaffected. As of this fix clustered servers can be used as templates for new servers, any servers currently affected this problem should be removed. APAR PQ76498 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W500104 of WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
