4.0.6: WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 Fix Pack 6



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Contact from Level 3 indicates that CMVC defect 121293 is
now ready.  They requested that I create an APAR for the
delivery mechanism.  Unfortunately, this is not a fix for
the problem being seen.  It is a fix for the tracing code
in order to provide more information about what is
actually occurring.

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users.      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The plugin log is NOT opened until the  *
*                      config file is fully parsed. This       *
*                      prevents the errors found in parsing    *
*                      phase from being logged.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The plugin log was not opened for logging when the config file
is being parsed. If the log was opened earlier, plugin would
have logged the parsing errors.
Problem conclusion
Modified the plugin to open the log file prior to parsing
the config file.
