Fix (APAR): PQ71608 Status: Fix Release: 4.0.5,4.0.4,4.0.3,4.0.2 Operating System: AIX , SunOS/Solaris Supersedes Fixes: PQ72869 CMVC Defect: PQ71608 Byte size of APAR: 2765609 Date: 2003-05-06 Abstract: Should not mark only server in ServerGroup down. Description/symptom of problem: The plugins were marking down servers that were the only servers in their ServerGroups. This has been changed so we do not mark these lone servers down, so recovery can happen as quickly as possible. This APAR isn't a substitute for understanding why the server is being marked down, as sometimes the fact that a server is being marked down is a sign of other problems. Directions to apply fix: 1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file: AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/fix Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/fix Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\fix 2) Copy jar file to the directory 3) Shutdown WebSphere 4)Create a /Fix directory if one does not already exist 5) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear: java -jar -backupJar /Fix/_backup.jar 6) Restart WebSphere 7) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved. Do not remove any files created and stored in the /Fix directory. These files are required if a fix is to be removed. Directions to remove fix: NOTE: FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED. DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED. YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX. Example: If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied. 1) Change directory to the fix location (/Fix). 2) Shutdown WebSphere 3) Run the backup jar file with the following command: java -jar 4) Restart WebSphere Directions to re-apply fix: Follow the instructions for applying a fix. If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite. Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts. Additional Information:
