PQ62067: PLUGIN REGEN MESSAGE ON ADMIN CONSOLE NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED

 A fix is available

System Management Component Cumulative Fix for 4.0.2/4.0.3/4.0.4 /4.0.5



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When you right click on the NODE and select REGEN PLUGIN
a message in the console stating the regeneration
 completed successfully is displayed.
-
"Plugin Regen Completed Successfully."
-
However, the actual  plugin-cfg.xml "file" does not get updated
immediately.
-
This message "..Completed Successfully" does not
actually mean the physical plugin "file" has been
updated.  It simply means the sticky bit used to flag the
plugin file to be  updated has been set.  The amount of
time for the actual plugin-cfg.xml file to be updated is
determined by an internal  algorithm within the
Servlet Engine.  The amount of time for the actaul file to
be update can vary depending on customer's
configuration, workload, environment, etc..
-
This is confusing because the message in the
 console stated "completed Successfully" which
would suggest the file has been updated immediately
-
Action Needed:
the message content need be changed from
"Plugin Regen Completed Successfully."
to
"Plugin Regen scheduled Successfully."
(or some other more descriptive message)
to reflect the reality ( the real situation)
because the existing message content is
misleading.

No workaround
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0X, AE users  *
*                 who regenerate the plugin.                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message displayed in console when       *
*                      plugin is regenerated is misleading.    *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When the user right clicks on the node and selects 'Regen
Webserver Plugin', WAS displays the message 'Plugin
regeneration completed successfully on node ...' But actually
WAS schedules a process that regenerates the plugin.  So this
message is misleading and has to be changed to 'Plugin
regeneration scheduled successfully on node ...' and after the
regeneration, the message should be 'Plugin regeneration
completed successfully on node ...'
Problem conclusion
Changed the messages.  Message 'Plugin regeneration scheduled
successfully on node ...' will be displayed when the user
selects 'Regen Webserver Plugin' and message 'Plugin
regeneration completed successfully on node ...' will be
displayed when the actual regeneration is complete.
