  Node Agent which is shutting down sends a
  'StatusCache:placeReport' mbean management call to the DMGR
  without security credentials.

  This happens when the Node Agent is sending the mbean
  (statusCache) request to the DMGR, too late in the process of
  his shutdown.
  
  At the time when the Nodeagent sends this request, Security
  service of the Node Agent is already STOPPED and the Node agent
  process itself is in a 'STOPPED' state, which explains the
  empty credentials on the mbean request to the DMGR.
  
  You will see the following error in the Node agent for the
  failing mbean request.

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified to properly handle the
  StatusCache:PlaceReport when the security service event
  is shutting down.
  
  APAR PK43980 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 6.0.2.27 of WebSphere Application Server V6.0.1
  for z/OS.
