PQ54257: EXECUTION STATE IN AES CONSOLE REMOVED, INFOCENTER NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
In the initial release of WAS AEs 4.0 there was a execution
state field in the console that could be set.
This has since been removed and is still referenced in the
infocenter.  Even though this value can still be set by
modifying the XML file, there is no longer a field that can be
modified to change it.
There is in fact no need to change it, since it controls the
initial state of the application server which needs to be
running for the console to be up.
The references in the infocenter to this execution state for AEs
need to be removed to keep the customer from being confused.
.
The documentation should be updated to remove reference
to the
"Execution State".  Specifically, section 6.6.3.0 in the
InfoCenter and
all the Quick Reference Installation Guides for AIX, Linux,
HP-UX, and
Solaris.  Note that the Installation Guides for Windows NT/2000
are OK
as they do not have reference to the "Execution State".
.
The DOC team needs to address this issue.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: InfoCenter articles should no longer    *
*                      reference the Execution State field     *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The first release of WebSphere Application Server Advanced
Single Server Edition Version 4.0 had an Execution State field
in the console that you could set. This field has since been
removed, though the InfoCenter still references it in the
article "6.6.3.0: Application server properties" and in the
installation information for the Advanced Single Server Edition
on UNIX platforms.
.
Though you can still set the execution state value by modifying
the XML file, there is no longer a field in the console that you
can modify to change the field's value. In fact, there is no
need to change the value because it controls the initial state
of the application server, which must be running for the
console to be operational.
Problem conclusion
The InfoCenter has been updated.
