APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When tried to enable debugging service from adminconsole seeing
  blank screen with error in logs.  With following procedure
  issue occurs.
  
  From console go to servers > server_name> under additional
  properties > click on "Debugging service" then
  
  Change "JVM debug port" from "7777" to "11223"
  
  Change "JVM debug arguments" from
  "-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7
  777"
  
  TO
  
  "-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1
  0.144.11
  0.103:11223"
  
  Click OK and save the changes. After coming back to same
  debugging
  service panel we see the following.
  
  JVM debug port : 11223
  
  JVM debug argument :
  -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=11
  223
  
  (without ip address)
  
  If you update ipaddress again in JVM debug argument and click
  ok you see blank screen with following error in systemout.log
  
  [12/12/13 14:47:24:663 CST] 00000012 RequestProces W
