Local fix
******Added to APAR*****************
Problem Location:
Product: WebSphere Application Server v4.01 AE
Platform: Windows 2000, Enterprise Edition SP2
DB Repository: MS SQL Server 2000 Enterp Ed. SP1
               Merant Driver 5.1
This problem regards win_adv_merant_sql_v4.pdf document
which is the document that describes the installation
process for WebSphere 4.01 AE using a MS SQL 2000
Server database as Repository.
It is accesible from WAS 4.01 AE infocenter.
This document is located in the following URL:

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc...
.../v40/ae/infocenter/was/pdf/win_adv_merant_sql_v4.pdf
Problem Description:
This document does not state that EJSADMIN must be
created in MS SQL Server 2000 as DBO in order to
perform the default installation.
Attempting to start IBM WAS 4.01 AE service for the
first time (which involves repository start up), without
this user created with DBO access to DB, causes WIN
Service Start failure.
Since this is a stand alone installation guide,
users must be provided this information.
