PQ94396: WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER V5 GETTING ERROR 500 CREATING IMS CONNECTION FACTORY AT CELL LEVEL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Error 500 creating IMS connection factory at CELL level. . After the connector is installed in each node, you can then 'scope' the connector at the cell level. Once the connector is scoped at the cell level, you can add connection factories (at the cell level) so that they can be used by all nodes in the installation. . The connector was installed successfully on both application nodes (node1tj & node1tk). I 'scoped' the connector at the cell level and everything appeared to work just fine. I ran into trouble adding connection factories at the cell level. Here is the problem. Though no errors were thrown, the cell scoped connector is missing (all) most of its custom properties needed to define connection factories. . When we compare the file /zWebSphere/cell1/DeploymentManager/config/cells/cell1 between the DevPlex and TestPlex. There should be about 17 properties available (versus two). Connection factories inherit these properties. The error in the admin occurs when you click apply while creating the connection factory. . Error on trying to create an IMS connection factory at the cell level (which has 0 custom properties): . Error 500 An error occurred while processing request: /admin/j2CConnectionFactoryDetail.do Message: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet [action]: null .

J2CConnectionFactoryDetailAction.copyParentProperties (J2CConnectionFactoryDetailAction.java:214)Problem conclusion All .rar files are installed at the node level. To create a resource adapter at the cell level, the rar must be installed on all nodes in the cell, except the Deployment Manager node. The code, however, was assuming that ALL nodes have the rar file and was just choosing one. When it chose the Deployment Manager node, the rar file didn't exist, so no custom properties were copied, which causes the NullPointerException when attempting to create a connection factory. The code was updated to always choose a node that contains the desired adapter.
