Issue/Introduction

Liberty couldn't be started after updating the Liberty and IBM Java Runtime to:

IBM Liberty Version 18.0.0.3 -  IBM Java Version  8.0.5.26 (1.8.0_191) or  8.0.5.22 (1.8.0_181)

Exceptions similar to the ones below are reported in the console.log or messages.log:

CWWKE0005E: The runtime environment could not be launched.
CWWKE0018E: An exception occurred while launching the runtime environment: java.lang.VerifyError: JVMVRFY041 invokespecial of wrong initializer; class=com/ibm/ws/kernel/launch/internal/ServerCommandListener, method=init(ILjava/io/File;)V, pc=620
Exception Details:

Environment

  • APM Agent 10.5.x

Cause

  • Defect

Resolution

This defect is fixed in 10.7 SP3

Workaround:

1. Stop the JVM/application server
2. Open the appropriate /core/config/toggles pbd file (it can toggles-full.pbd, toggles-full-NoRedef.pbd, toggles-typical.pbd or toggles-typical-NoRedef.pbd)
3. Disable the agent trace(s) according to the exception(s) in the log, there is a corresponding agent trace for each exception, from the above examples:

Type 'com/wily/introscope/agent/probe/io/ManagedFileOutputStream' -> FileSystemTracing
Type 'com/wily/introscope/agent/probe/lang/ManagedThread' -> ThreadTracing
Type 'com/wily/introscope/agent/probe/net/ManagedServerSocket' -> ManagedSocketTracing

based on this, you will need to disable the traces as below:

#TurnOn: FileSystemTracing
#TurnOn: ThreadTracing
#TurnOn: ManagedSocketTracing

4. Start the JVM/application server
