We have gone through the below link. Want to understand why is this happening frequently ? what is the root cause ?
Stop any of the server(s) that do not appear in the error stack as ‘STATE_DISTRIBUTED’ and restart it
CAUSE
The changes were not distributed to all the Managed Servers in the cluster. As a result, servers remained in an inconsistent state.
SOLUTION
So for example, if in the above error stack, one can see activate changes failed for AdminSrv. However other server’s did not appear in this list. So in this case, re-starting only other server’s helped to alleviate the problem.
