PH61512: WAS_ENDPOINTINITIALSTATE PROPERTY IS DELETED AFTER UPDATING EMBEDDED MQ RESOURCE ADAPTER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WAS_EndpointInitialState custom property of Activation
  Specifications bound to the Embedded MQ Resource Adapter are
  erroneously deleted when the Embedded MQ Resource Adapter is
  updated via either the "Update resource adapter..." mechanism
  in the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console or
  the updateRAR AdminTask.

  The WAS_EndpointInitialState custom property of Activation
  Specifications bound to the Embedded MQ Resource Adapter are
  erroneously deleted when the Embedded MQ Resource Adapter is
  updated via either the "Update resource adapter..." mechanism
  in the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console or
  the updateRAR AdminTask.
  

Problem conclusion

• When upgrading the resource adapter, a helper class verifies
  that the existing properties configured on associated
  Activation Specifications are present as configurable
  properties of the new Resource Adapater's Activation
  Specification.
  
  WAS_EndpointInitialState is not a property of the Resource
  Adapater's Activation Specification, it is a configuration
  property of the Activation Specification that is internal to
  WebSphere Application Server itself.
  
  The helper class was modified so that the
  WAS_EndpointInitialState custom property was not treated as a
  standard property and instead it is exempted from the
  verification and removal process.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
  8.5.5.27 and 9.0.5.21. For more information, see 'Recommended
