Error description
If there are file operations occurring outside of the current instance of the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile, but in the server directory for the Liberty profile server then a possible race condition can be met where the server will fail performing one of several different operations. There is no common error message or symptom for this error.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty Profile * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If there are file operations * * (importantly the creation or deletion * * of files) in the workarea directory * * for * * the Liberty profile at the same time * * that the server is running you may see * * different error messages indicating an * * error within the server. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem is a timing window in lots of locations in the server code where we check to see if a file or directory exists. If it does exist we use the file or directory, and if it does not exist we try to create it. The error is that there is a small window where, for example, a directory does not exist that we need. After checking that it doesn't exist something else has created the directory - when the server then tries to create the directory (which it thinks doesn't exist) it hits an error as the mkdirs() call fails.
Problem conclusion
To stop the problem you need to stop the external file operations from happening in the workarea directory for the server. This means not adding/removing/modifying files in the server/workarea directory. If you cannot see anything on your which would be making these file changes then it is good to make sure you don't have an instance of the server already running which you have forgotten about. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.0.1.
