Session affinity not working in WebSphere Application Server because session name changed

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
During session affinity the plugin automatically looks for the JSESSIONID to determine where to send a request for session affinity. If a user changes the name of the session to something other than JSESSIONID the plugin does not know to look for the new name to continue session affinity.
Solution
The following must be added to the queues.properties file within the Install_Root/temp directory:
ose.srvgrp.ibmoselink.affinityidname=new_sessionID
  • where "new_sessionID" is the changed session name.

The additional line will needed to be added for each queue (in this case ibmoselink) that needs session affinity for the new ID.
