This affects portal scripts when they try to create a
cluster member and the following wsadmin command:

$AdminTask createCluster {-interactive}

This error only occurs when
com.ibm.ws.management.connector.*=all tracing is enabled on the
DMGR.

Local fix

Disable com.ibm.ws.management.connector.*=all traces on the
Deployment Manager.
