Why the plug-in configuration file must be edited manually to add BackupServers
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The plug-in regeneration does not retain <BackupServers> configuration defined in plug-in configuration file, such as plugin-cfg.xml.
 
Cause
The application servers defined in one ServerGroup could be changed across plug-in regeneration. The BackupServers list needs to be changed accordingly.
There is no information stored in WebSphere® Application Server configuration repository indicating the primary or backup server information.

For example, "appserver1" could be defined as one of the backup servers.

After regeneration, if appserver1 is no longer included in the ServerGroup anymore, the BackupServers list needs to be updated manually to reflect the change.
 
Resolving the problem
Plug-in regeneration cannot retain the old BackupServers list. Customers need to redefine the BackupServers list manually.
