Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If an exception is thrown during server initialization in some
parts of the runtime code, before the FFDC component is fully
initialized, it may not be properly written to the server log.
This can result in incorrect problem diagnosis.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users      *
*                  experiencing non-logged exceptions during   *
*                  startup                                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Initialization code is attempting to    *
*                      log exceptions to FFDC when FFDC has    *
*                      not yet been initialized.               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
One of the model initialization services in WebSphere attempts
to log any exceptions that occur to First Failure Data Capture
(FFDC). However, at the time of these exceptions, the FFDC
component has not yet been initialized, so the exceptions are
lost.

Problem conclusion

The exception data has been rerouted from FFDC to standard out
or trace logging, as available.

Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.28 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1.
