Fix (APAR): PK67043 Status: Fix Release: 7.0 Operating System: AIX,HP-UX,i5/OS,IBM i,Linux,Linux pSeries,Linux Red Hat - pSeries,Linux zSeries,Solaris,Windows Supersedes Fixes: CMVC Defect: PK67043.dev Byte size of APAR: 23819 Date: 2008-09-25 Abstract: The isclite application restarts after every update. Description/symptom of problem: PK67043 resolves the following problem: ERROR DESCRIPTION:? zeroEarCopy application is restarted for every update, after adding a new security role in application.xml LOCAL FIX:? PROBLEM SUMMARY:? USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of version 6.1 and 7.0. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The isclite application restarts after every update. RECOMMENDATION: None As per our design after every fine grained update we restart the module or the application depending on the update operation. For example, if a WebModule is deployed with a new user in it, we will recycle the application to enable the new user; whereas if the update reflects only on the module level files, we restart only the module to update the changes. But, since isclite is a special application the restart behavior was not working correctly due to various special constraints. PROBLEM CONCLUSION:? The fix handles the special constraints of isclite and aligned the restart behavior for its update operation like normal applications. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 6.1.0.21 and 7.0.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 Install Fix to all WebSphere installations unless special instructions are included below. Special Instructions: None NOTE: The user must: * Logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack. * Be at V7.0.0.0 or newer of the Update Installer. Certain iFixes may require a newer version of the Update Installer and the Update Installer will inform you during the installation process if a newer version is required. This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file /updateinstaller/version.txt. The Update Installer can be downloaded from the following link: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24020212 1) The fix is delivered as a single file with a .pak extension (such as 7.0.0.1-WS-WAS-IFPK12345.pak). Copy the .pak file directly to the maintenance directory, /maintenance. 2) Shutdown WebSphere 3) For IBM i users, use the update command to install and uninstall the interim fix. The IBM Information Center can provide additional details, if needed, on the use of this command. http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=compass&product=was-nd-iseries&topic=rins_update. For non-IBM i users, launch the Update Installer and click the Next button on the Welcome page. 4) Enter the directory path of the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update, and click the Next button. 5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation and click the Next button. 6) Enter the directory path of your maintenance directory where you have the maintenance packages (.pak files) and click the Next button. 7) The Available Maintenance Package to Install page should list all maintenance packages (.pak files) that it finds in the directory path provided in the previous step. The Update Installer will select the correct maintenance packages based on your system configuration and will not allow an invalid combination to be installed. Please keep the Update Installer recommendations and click the Next button and continue with the installation of the maintenance package. To determine why some maintenance packages have been identified as not applicable, see description in log found in /logs/tmp*/updatelogs.txt 8) For all platforms except Windows. In pre-install summary panel, use the "verify permission" feature to verify the user has permissions to apply updates to files associated with the selected maintenance. Correct any file permissions before clicking next to start the install. 9) Restart WebSphere Directions to remove fix: 1) Shutdown WebSphere 2) Start Update Installer 3) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to remove the fix. 4) Select "Uninstall maintenance package" operation. 5) Select name of the maintenance package to uninstall (PKxxxxx.pak). 6) UnInstall maintenance package. 7) Restart WebSphere Directions to re-apply fix: 1) Shutdown WebSphere. 2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix. 3) Restart WebSphere.
