* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The Administrative Console allows you to set the Maximum Number
of Historical Log Files to a large number but the server
JVM will fail to start. It gives a NumberFormatException
on the logs.
Steps to Reproduce :
> Start the Administrative Console.
> Go to Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace > server > JVM Logs >
Configuration tab > Try to set a large number for Maximum
Number of Historical Log Files
> Click Apply and Save
> Check the logs you will find the NumberFormatException
There was no restriction/validation for this field before.
We are seeing the exception because the value given cannot be
contained in an integer type field.
Problem conclusion
Code has been added to validate this field.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 5.02.15 and 5.1.1.9.
