APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • This APAR is to avoid repeated NullPointerExceptions in
    scheduler logs during resynchronization of job status on
    endpoint startup, because of inconsistencies in Compute Grid
    runtime tables

    ****************************************************************
    The resynchronize process expects to find each job id it knows
    about and get its status from the Job Status table. If the job
    id is not found a NullPointerException is generated. This
    occurs at each resynchronize interval therefore filling up the
    logs with unnecessary error messages.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The resynchronize process captures the job id error correctly
    and logs it to the FFDC.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.0.0.3 of WebSphere Compute Grid 8.0.
