APAR status

  • The IM enabled plugin may not properly distinguish and ignore
routing rules intended for other web servers with the same short
name.  This problem also affects the setting of trace levels for
the specific IM enabled plugin similarly.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
*                  using Intelligent  Management Enabled Web   *
*                  Servers                                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In a topology with identical webserver  *
*                      shortnames, Routing Rules may not work  *
*                      as intended on the intended server.     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem here is that Routing Rule and/or trace settings
configuration, for all the same shortname webservers,  will be
handled by all these webservers.  This means that only the last
processed configuration will be honored.

Problem conclusion

  • The code has been corrected to properly distinguish between the
webservers.  Only apply and honor the configuration which is for
this specific webserver.

The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
8.5.5.21 & 9.0.5.11. For more information, see 'Recommended
