PM70554: PROFILE CREATION FAILS WITH IBM SDK 7

8.5.0.2: WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Manageprofiles works successfully when commandDefault is JDK
  1.6_64.
  When switched to 1.7_64, manageprofiles command fails in
  between.
  
  Recreation step-
  
  1) managesdk -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.7_64
  2) manageprofiles -create -profileName <Name> -profilePath
  <Path> -templatePath <Path>
  

Local fix

• In regards to the temporary workaround provided for profile
  creation, we advise to set newProfileDefault and CommandDefault
  to the desired value before creation of a profile. So if client
  wishes to create profiles with java 1.7, the client should call:
  
  managesdk.bat -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.7_64
  managesdk.bat -setNewProfileDefault -sdkname 1.7_64
  
  before creation of a profile.
  Note, the following commands:
  
  managesdk.bat -getCommandDefault
  managesdk.bat -getNewProfileDefault
  
  can be used to find the current values CommandDefault and
  NewProfileDefault. If client wishes to create with java 1.7 and
  both values are already 1.7_64, then client can continue to
  create a profile. The same applies for creation with java 1.6.
  (i.e. set values to 1.6_64)
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5 on Microsoft Windows with IBM   *
  *                  software Development Kit 1.7 installed and  *
  *                  who want to use IBM SDK 1.7 for profile     *
  *                  creation.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Profile Creation will hang if you       *
  *                      wish to use IBM Software Development    *
  *                      Kit 1.7 for profile creation.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When you want to use IBM's java Software Development Kit 1.7
  for use in creation of a profile through commandline, it will
  hang if the following command was used before profile creation:
  "managesdk.bat -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.7_**". On 64-bit
  Microsoft Windows, there will be a popup box displaying:
  "Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working".
  The entire problem is caused when wsadminlistener is launched
  with an environment variable having the wrong values.
  

Problem conclusion

• The environment variable was modified with the appropriate
  values before wsadminlistener is launched to prevent the
  problem.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
