The following IllegalArgumentException appears in Administrator.log
<-------
2009 Sep 07 10:37:28:310 GMT +8 Error [Administrator] AESDKJ-0000 [http-8090-Processor44]  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find an application archive associated with a deployment configuration for ApplicationConfiguration: TIBCO Servers
    at com.tibco.pof.admindomain.impl.DeploymentConfigurationImpl.getUploadedApplicationArchive(DeploymentConfigurationImpl.java:805)
    at com.tibco.pof.admindomain.impl.ServiceConfigurationImpl.getUploadedServiceArchive(ServiceConfigurationImpl.java:349)
    at com.tibco.be.deployment.administrator.BEServiceInstanceGeneralTab.isAvailable(BEServiceInstanceGeneralTab.java:33)
------>

Cause:
=====
This is an eror complaining that the archive file could not be found for “TIBCO Servers”. Unlike BW/Adapter applications, a Tibco server application does NOT have an archive file (.ear file) stored in the domain. This is why the debug info appears.

Resolution:
==========
It is harmless and can be safely ignored. There is a Change Request (ADM-3650) submitted for this issue.
