PK16905: SCRIPTING ON WEBSPHERE FOR Z/OS OVERWRITES CLUSTER SHORTNAME WHEN CREATING FIRST CLUSTER MEMBER

 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When using scripting the customer noted that the shortName of
the cluster was being changed when cluster members were created
in a new cluster.  This problem is unique to the use of the
$AdminConfig createClusterMember scripting command.  When used
to create the first member of a cluster, it sets a default
shortname for the cluster regardless of whether the cluster's
shortname has already been set or not.   It won't cause a
problem when creating additional members and this problem does
not occur via the Admin Console.

****************************************************************
When creating the first member of a cluster, the $AdminConfig
createClusterMember command sets a default shortName for the
cluster overwriting any shortName previously set using the
$AdminConfig create ServerCluster shortName input parameter
or the $AdminConfig modify command.  If a shortName has already
been assigned, it is overwritten without warning.
Problem conclusion
The code is modified so that a default shortName is set only if
there is no existing shortName for the cluster.
