Error description

  • A compute grid job is dispatched to a GEE endpoint and stays in
    submit-status but never starts. Then the endpoint server is
    restarted which fails with a NullPointerException.  The LRS
    shows UnavailableExceptions for the GEE Endpoint. After 5
    minutes of the endpoint stop, the job terminates.

    The WSgrid client attempts to retrieve job logs during
    submitted or canceled state causing the GEE to look for a
    non-existing mbean causing the GEE start to fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The WSGrid client has been updated to not get job logs when a
    job is in submitted or canceled state. The fix for this APAR
    is currently targeted for inclusion in fixpack 8.0.0.4.
