Error description
WAS ND 8.5.5.12 on Windows Changes made to an ODR port (PROXY_HTTP_ADDRESS / PROXY_HTTPS_ADDRESS), such as modifying the port value or disabling transport altogether, are not reflected in the High Availability Plugin. The resulting plugin-cfg.xml still shows the previous configuration.
Local fix
1) Make desired change to the odr port. 2) Bounce the odr so that the associated transport chain is forced to reload. 3) Bounce the dmgr - at that point HA plugin-cfg.xml regenerates correctly.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server WAS ND using On Demand Routers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Disabling PROXY_HTTP(S)_ADDRESS * * transports of On Demand Routers is not * * reflected in the plugin-cfg.xml. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Disabling PROXY_HTTP_ADDRESS or PROXY_HTTPS_ADDRESS transports of On Demand Routers is not reflected in the High Availability Generated plugin-cfg.xml when the service has been configured to include stopped ODRs i.e. cell custom property 'ODCPluginCfgOdrIncludeStopped_<definitionID>' with a value of 'true'.
Problem conclusion
The High Availability plugin-cfg.xml Generator has been altered to properly handle disablement of PROXY_HTTP_ADDRESS or PROXY_HTTPS_ADDRESS transports of On Demand Routers. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.6. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
After disabling PROXY_HTTP_ADDRESS or PROXY_HTTPS_ADDRESS transports of an On Demand Router (ODR), stop the ODR processes, restart the Deployment Manager, and then start the ODRs.
