    *                      a profile may fail after updating       *
    *                      WebSphere Application Server.           *

    ****************************************************************
    After updating Websphere Application Server the OSGi bundle
    cache within each profile is reset the first time a server in
    that profile is started.  If an administrative program is
    invoked within a profile, before a server in that profile is
    started the first time after an update, the administrative
    program may fail to launch due to an obsolete OSGi bundle
    cache.  This condition for failure also applies to
    post-install configuration actions, which transparently invoke
    administrative programs when a server starts the first time
    after an update.  If a configuration action invokes an
    administrative program in a profile before a server process
    has started in that profile, then this problem may occur.
    The error typically manifests as an OSGI class loading or file
    I/O error.  Here is example of a failure recorded in the
    configuration action logs:
    <record>
    <date>2014-02-11T10:05:40</date>
    <millis>1392185140861</millis>
    <sequence>7604</sequence>
    <logger>com.ibm.ws.install.configmanager.actionengine.ant.utils.
    ANTLogToCmtLogAdapter</logger>
    <level>WARNING</level>

    <message>Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    C:\8550\profiles\Dmgr01\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\3
    56\1\.cp\lib\tyto.jar (The system cannot find the path
    specified.)</message>
    Note that OSGi errors are written to error logs within three
    logical configuration area locations.
    <WAS_HOME>/configuration
    <PROFILE_HOME>/configuration
    <PROFILE_HOME>/servers/<SERVER>/configuration
    OSGi error logs for administrative programs invoked from a
    profile are written to directory <PROFILE_HOME>/configuration.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Apply APAR PI19344 to enable administrative programs
    to detect the profile-specific OSGi bundle cache is obsolete
    and to reset it after an update.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.5.5.3 and 8.0.0.11.  Please refer to the
