![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description When an app server fails, for whatever reason, the admin server detects its failure and attempts to restart it, once. If the attempt fails for some reason,in this case the repository DB was down, there are no more further "automatic" retries to restart. This PMR is a request to add logic to admin server such that "failed" app servers can be restarted.Local fix restart app serverProblem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users trying * * to restart the application server. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Under some circumstances, admin server * * may not restart failed application * * server. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If an Application Server is detected to go down, the Admin Server tries to start it again. If this attempt fails (for example, if the repository database is down), no more attempts are made to restart the Application Server.Problem conclusion This fix makes the Admin Server retry to start the Application Server a specified number of times. The default is to retry 5 times in 60 second intervals. This can be modified by adding lines into admin.config as follows (note: lines had to be wrapped due to formatting - in admin.config, each of these should be on a single line with no embedded whitespace): com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServer.nannyThread.maxRetries= <num_retries> com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServer.nannyThread.waitTime= <secs_between_retries> The app server start will retry forever if a negative number is set as <num_retries>.Temporary fix PQ59006_eFix_AEServer.jar and README.txt are available on: wasdoc0.raleigh.ibm.com/apars/PQ59006/4.0.2Comments
