APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The server continuously keeps reading the same set of
    configuration files and does not fully start. This is caused
    by invalid <include> elements in server configuration that
    form a circular dependency.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Liberty Profile                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The server finds a circular             *
    *                      dependancy of included files in its     *
    *                      configuration and fails to start.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The server configuration can include another server
    configuration snippet using the <include> element. If the
    <include> elements in the server configuration form a circular
    dependency (for example, A.xml includes B.xml and B.xml
    includes A.xml) then the server will get stuck reading the
    same set of configuration files over and over again.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Updated configuration module to watch for circular
    dependencies caused by server.xml includes. If a circular
    dependency is detected it is broken so that the server can
    continue to start. Also, a message is logged to warn you
    about the circular dependency.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
