  The configuration in which the error appears is a profile that
  already has the EventService application installed but there
  is no server on that profile having the application installed
  on.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem was solved by providing default targets to be used
  if the application is installed on the profile but not on the
  current server.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
