Error description
Create a new boolean data source using the administrative console. Navigate to: Resource > JDBC > Data sources > [DATASOURCE] > Custom Properties name="deferPrepares" type="java.lang.Boolean" value="false" Modity the value of the property using wsadmin, extracting the properties to create a server1.props file >wsadmin AdminTask.extractConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName server1.props -configData Server=server1]') - looking in the server1.props at the data sources we can see that the value is set to false and resources.xml shows the same. - If we try to change the value of the data source property from true to false by changing the server1.props file server1.props ---------------- deferPrepares=true #Boolean ---------------- Using type #Boolean instead of type #boolean - >wsadmin AdminTask.applyConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName server1.props]') AdminConfig.save() -- If we export out the properties again it has not changed our original entry but has added a new data source in the resources.xml file as type #String - server1.props ---------------- deferPrepares=false #boolean deferPrepares=true #String
Local fix
Workaround would be to use the Admin Console to remove the added data resource of type string If changing the value for the boolean, use type #boolean instead of type #Boolean, when using wsadmin.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Property File Based Configuration * * (PFBC) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Using wrong case for data type * * already created can cause duplicate * * properties to be created. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Using the wrong case for a data type can cause unexpected behavior.
Problem conclusion
The PFBC code was changed to handle any capitalization for any type when dealing with properties. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.5.
