Error description

  • when enable "start components as needed", The Scheduler works
    as expected for applications running on the same Cluster as
    hosts the Scheduler.  However, we're not able to submit Jobs
    from applications running in other Clusters in the same cell.
    

Local fix

  • Disable "start components as needed" for the issue server can
    fix the issue.
    

Problem summary

    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Java Batch job submission fails when    *
    *                      dynamic provisioning is enabled         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When dynamic provisioning ("Start components as needed") is
    enabled on a WebSphere application server, component loading is
    deferred from startup to runtime. In a Java Batch environment,
    an
    endpoint server may fail to submit a job when dynamic
    provisioning
    is enabled, and the following message may be found in the server
    output:
    EndpointComponentImpl.initializePGC() return exception...PGC is
    not initialized.
    This occurs because not all of the Batch runtime's dependencies
    are correctly specified, so a necessary service may not have
    been
    initialized in time to process the job submit request.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The dependencies of the Batch runtime have been updated to inclu
    all necessary services. This will ensure these services are load
    in time to prevent this issue.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.6, and Compute Grid 8.0.0.6.  Pleas
