Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V7.5 and V8.0 **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The problem occurs when the user who has been configured for a particular promotion environment has the same user name and realm as the user who has been selected to run in the RunAs role for the ServiceRegistry application on the system performing the promotion. Typically the Governance Master. When a promotion runs and completes, a logout call is made which removes cached credentials for the user who logged into the remote system to perform the promotion. If the user who is logged out happens to match the RunAs user then any process which is currently running in the RunAs role will effectively be logged out too. This can lead to processes such as text search indexing failing because the user under which they are running has been logged out. The problem only applies to processes that were already running as the RunAs user when the logout call was made. New processes will simply log in again and work correctly. Typically this problem causes occasional error messages in the SystemOut log.
Problem conclusion
The logout call is unnecessary and was removed so that promotions will not cause the RunAs user to be logged out. This fix is targeted for inclusion in WSRR v7.5.0.5 and v8.0.0.3
