Abstract:  Generic JMS Binder requires JMS provider to be active

Description/symptom of problem:  When using the Generic JMS binder
utility to bind wrapped generic JMS resources, if the external JMS
provider is not active the tool will fail because it tries to
validate the external ConnectionFactory. An option (-novalidate)
has been added that will cause the GenericJMSBinder not to validate
the external ConnectionFactory.



Directions to apply fix:  

1) Create temporary "Fix" directory to store the jar file:
            UNIX: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\Fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar 

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not remove 
   any files created and stored in the /Fix/PQ##### directories.
   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 RE-APPLY 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/PQ#####).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar PQ#####_Fix_backup.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.
