Description/symptom of problem:  
 
PK63255 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
When creating a SIP response,202, for an incoming SIP request,  
the default status description "OK" is sent instead of          
"ACCEPTED"                                                      

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
Need to add  status code "Accepted" in the code, to be returned 
when 202 status code is received, else "OK" which is the        
default, will be returned.                                      

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
IBM Websphere Application Server version
6.1 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
202 Status code is given the 'OK'
reason phrase.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The Sip container assigns the 202 Staus code in the Response
the Reason Phrase 'OK'. It should be 'ACCEPTED'. The code did
not previously support it and therefore returned the default
reason phrase, which is "OK".

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The container should now return the correct Reason              
Phrase which is "ACCEPTED", instead of the default "OK"         
Fix will be provided in IBM Websphere Application Server        
fix pack 6.1.0.19.
