osgiCfgInit script

The Equinox OSGi framework is used to manage class loading and relationships between server component bundles. In some cases, the cached bundle data, which is maintained on a per-profile basis and has a separate cache at the WAS_HOME level for installation-wide processes, can become out of sync with the actual binaries on the server. You can use the osgiCfgInit script to clear and recreate the OSGi cache.

You should run the osgiCfgInit script on the command line from the WAS_HOME/bin or user_install_root/bin directory. The behavior of the script depends on the directory from which you run the script. If you run the script from a profile-level bin directory, the script clears the OSGi cache for that profile, and the OSGi cache at the WAS_HOME level. If you run the script from the WAS_HOME/bin directory, the script clears the OSGi cache for the default profile.
Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: [Updated in March 2012] Before you run the osgiCfgInit script, stop the server on which the script will be run. If you run this script on a server that is active, the server might have problems trying to read or update the cache after the script is finished. [Updated in March 2012]
