PQ53307: HARMLESS EXCEPTION IN THE ACTIVITY.LOG

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
The error reported here occurs in AE, AES verions 4.0.0 and  alt
4.0.1 of WebSphere Application Server. Although this shows up in
the log, it is meaningless and harmless but is alarming and
misleading while performing problem determination when
Websphere is having trouble.
.
I would be nice to either handle the error or remove it from
the activity.log. But for now let's make sure that everyone
is aware so they don't spend time fixing a problem where there
is no problem.
.
Here is the exception (error) that is generated in the
activity.log whenever you start the AdminServer.
