Error description

NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.wscoor.ServiceHelper$1.run
when using Websphere Vitrual Enterprise 6.1 with WebSphere
Application Server v7.0. In this environment, WVE component
run on NodeAgent as WebService client and communicate with
VMware. In this scenario, NPE can be seen. This does not happen
if using WebSphere Application Server v6.1

Here is stacktrace.

The root cause for this was the NullPointerException thrown in
the run method of ServiceHelper, which occurred because the
transaction service always expected Transport channels to be
available in the server, which was not the case here.

Problem conclusion

The transaction service has been changed to handle the case
where no transport channels are available, and so prevent the
NullPointerException occurring.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
