APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a virtual portal is created with a hostname but without an
  identifying url context, it is not possible to create new URL
  mappings and assign them to portal pages through the URL
  mapping admin portlet.
  
  The following error will be shown:
  EJPEC0622E: A resource of a virtual portal can only be mapped
  to a context of the same virtual portal.
  
  This APAR modifies the virtual portal creation process to always
  
  
  generate a URL mapping context, if no context name has been
  provided. So this APAR only addresses the issue for newly
  created virtual portals. Existing portals will have to be
  recreated to fix the issue (see workaround description).
  
  Detailed exception shown in URL Mapping portlet is:
  
  EJPAY0050E: Error occurred when assigning the mapping for
  context testvp2.
  com.ibm.portal.WpsException: EJPAY0050E: Error occurred when
  assigning the mapping for context testvp2.

Local fix

• export the vp through XMLAccess; delete the vp and run the Clean
  
  
  
  
  up Daemon Task; recreate vp with some VP context in addition to
  the hostname (use config engine task create-virtual-portal to cr
  
  
  
  eate an empty VP!) and reimport the contents
