Problem conclusion
Note: We update our information centers monthly. The following Version 8.5 modifications will be available in the September 2012 update to the Information Centers. To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the product library page at http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library and select the version and product that is appropriate for your WebSphere Application Server environment. The following Version 8.5 issues will be addressed: ID: PM72402 Problem: In topic, Creating a fine-grained administrative authorization group using the administrative console, Step 6, associates a group to the new user role, and indicates that you should select the option EVERYONE if you want to select special subjects. However the option EVERYONE is not supported in Version 8.0 of WebSphere Application Server. Resolution: References to the EVERYONE option will be removed from Step 6 of the topic, Creating a fine-grained administrative authorization group using the administrative console. This update also applies to the Versions 8.0 information center. ------------ ID: 739255 Problem: There is missing and erroneous help information for proxy settings in the WebSphere Application Server information center for the administrative console page located by navigating as follows: Servers > Server Types > Proxy Servers > server_name > HTTP Proxy Server Settings > Proxy settings Resolution: Topic, Proxy server settings, is updated to include the sections Static file serving and Workload Management. Also, terminology inconsistencies have been corrected. This update also applies to the Version 7.0, and 8.0 information centers. ------------- ID: 741497 Problem: If, when attempting to use the Installation Manager to install ifixes on WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5, you select the "update All" option, you will get the following error: "No Updates or fixes were found for the packages that are installed in the selected locations" This error occurs even though the fix is included in the list of repositories that the Installation Manager reports to be searching. The information center does not adequately explain this condition. Resolution: The topics: - Installing fix packs on the Web Server Plug-ins using the GUI - Installing fix packs on the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using the GUI - Installing fix packs on the DMZ Secure Proxy Server using the GUI - Installing fix packs on distributed operating systems using the GUI - Installing fix packs on IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 using the GUI - Installing fix packs for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on distributed operating systems using the GUI will be updated to include the following TIP for the task step that selects the package group to update: Tip: If you select Update all, Installation Manager will search all of the added and predefined repositories for recommended updates to all of the package groups that it has installed. Use this feature only if you have full control over which fixes are contained in the targeted repositories. If you create and point to a set of custom repositories that include only the specific recommended fixes that you want to install, you should be able to use this feature confidently. If you enable searching service repositories or install fixes directly from other live web-based repositories, then you might not want to select this option so that you can select only the fixes that you want to install for each offering on subsequent panels. ------------------ ID: 741518 Problem: Topic, Web server configuration, describes the Service name property for the Windows operating systems. The propety description is inaccurate. Resolution: Topic, Web server configuration is updated to include the following description of the Service name property: Specifies the Microsoft Windows operating system name for the web server service. The name is the "Display name" of the service and you can find it by opening the General properties tab of the web server service This update also applies to the Version 7.0, and 8.0 Information Centers.
