AddNode operation fails with various timeouts.
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Customers attempting to federate nodes using addNode.sh or BBOWADDN may, on systems that are resource constrained, experience a script failure with the following SOAP exception in the addNode.log:

[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Read timed out; targetException=java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out]

Customers may also see a RuntimeMBeanException, followed by message:

NodeFederatio E ADMU0007E: Error while copying com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConfigServiceException

This may in turn be followed by ORB communication failures:

org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL: vmcid: 0xc9c21000 minor code: 111 completed: No
 
Resolving the problem
The first message above (SOAPException - Read timed out) indicates the SOAP client on the addNode script side has timed out before the operation was completed on the DMGR side. This can generally be resolved by increasing the com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout setting in the soap.client.props file (located in /<configRoot>/AppServer/properties). Depending on how resource constrained your system is, you may want to increase this value to 900 to 1200 seconds.

The RuntimeMBeanException above, followed by various other errors, generally means a timeout occurred in the DMGR while the SOAP client was awaiting a response on the script side. Check the controller and servant region joblogs for an EC3 abend followed by a reason code. Using the reason code found check this table to determine which timeout value should be increased:


http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v5r1//index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.zseries.doc/info/zseries/ae/abend02.htm

For example, if the reason code is 04130004, this indicates a WLM dispatch timeout according to the table in the link above. The timeout variable to increase in this case would be the control_region_wlm_dispatch_timeout.
