WSVR0009E: Error occurred during startup

The deployment manager JVM fails to start.

Symptom

The SystemOut.log file shows the following errors:

WSVR0232E: Unable to resolve cross document link identified by the uri: 
serverindex.xml#NamedEndPoint_1188855255542, and referenced by document  serverindex.xml       

WSVR0009E: Error occurred during startup
com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationError: com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationError: Exception encountered while extracting configuration information for the Name Space


Cause
The following entry is seen in the serverindex.xml file for one of the nodes in the cell:

<specialEndpoints href="serverindex.xml#NamedEndPoint_1188855255542" />

Resolution

The problem can be resolved by removing the entry from the serverindex.xml file.

    Find the serverindex.xml for the node that contains the NamedEndPoint entry in the WSVR0232E message.


    <DMGR_Profile_Home>/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/serverindex.xml

    Backup the serverindex.xml file outside of the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server install path if needed.

    Remove the following entries that match the NamedEndPoint in the WSVR0232E messages:


    <specialEndpoints href="serverindex.xml#NamedEndPoint_1188855255542" />

    Save the serverindex.xml file.

    Start the dmgr.

    Issue the SyncNode command from the nodes to synchronize the changes.
