Error description

  • An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is occurring in the
nodeagent when it is processing bulletin board updates.  This
is why it does not have cluster data when processing the
naming request and throws the org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT: No
Cluster Data Available exception.

This exception may impact any function that depends upon
workload management (WLM) routing.  For example, this may
cause an org.omg.CORBA.NO_IMPLEMENT: No Cluster Data Available
exception when routing EJB or RMI requests.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The problem occurs when WLM receives messages from the
bulletin board.  When using core group bridges, there is a
window where a proxied bulletin board post for the same server
may appear from multiple bridges.  The code has been corrected
to handle this situation.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the Recommended
Updates page for delivery information:
