APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer is trying to "Mapping Resource References to
Resources" using the AdminConsole and selecting:
Enterprise Applications > appName
   > Mapping Resource References to Resources
They then go to the javax.sql.DataSource section and left click
on the pulldown for "Specify existing Resource JNDI name:".
Here they expect to see Resources they have defined but, do NOT.
   It seems that WebSphere only displays Resources for NODES
that have Servers that are NOT members of a Cluster. For example
: If you have 2 systems SY1 and SY2, you have clustered servers
on both. In addition to the clustered servers, only SY2 has
NON-clustered servers defined. If you select an application and
attempt to "Mapping Resource References to Resources" only
resources on SY2 will be displayed for selection.
   This problem results in the customer having to key in the
Resource he wants to select on this panel.
Local fix
key in the Resource, rather than selecting it.

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In the Administrative Console, some defined resources are not
shown in the dropdown lists on the "Map Resource References to
Resources" and "Map Resource Env Entry References to Resources"
pages.
Problem conclusion
For a number of reasons, including performance,
the product was designed to show only resources which are
available to at least one non-clustered server.  Therefore,
resources that are only available to clustered servers are
intentionally not shown in the list.  Any valid resource name
can still be entered manually in the JNDI name field even if it
is not in the dropdown list.
The mapping pages are modified to describe the criteria used for
populating the dropdown list.  A redesign of the function to
show a complete and accurate list of resources in the dropdown
lists is planned for a future release.
