APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • A benign exception which is confusing is showing up in the
    migration log.  The exception is a NotFoundException for the
    resources.xml file.  The resources.xml file is being read for
    each node/server.  However, not all servers have a
    resources.xml file.  Thus the error.

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Ignore - it is a harmless message.          *
    ****************************************************************
    Generic servers do not have resource.xml files.  However, the
    code is still trying to process this non-existent file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Make an additional check for the existence of the resource.xml
    file.  If not there skip around the processing code.  This
    will handle new future server types which may not have this
    resources.xml file.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
