PQ60764: WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER INFOCENTER ENABLING CO-EXISTENCE

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
Websphere Application Server V4.0 InfoCenter
Confusing information in WAS InfoCenter V4.0 when trying to
 enable co-existing versions of the Websphere Application Server
URL is 
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/
  ae/infocenter/was/was402/rncoexist.html
AND
 Migration Guide pdf file - Section 3.2.4: Migrating Web server
  plug-ins has references to 3.x for example which is confusing
URL is 
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/
    ae/infocenter/was/pdf/nav_Migrguide.pdf
All titles to the different coexist documents state
  WAS 3.5.x and V4.0.x but then in the text of the documents
  it states must use WAS 3.5.5 or 4.0.2
These sections should be changed to reflect the correct WAS
 versions that work since not all versions of Websphere
 Application Server will work or are supported.
CMVC defect with this number will be opened also under
 ASVINFO release, WEBSJAVA.INFO component, reference = ASV40
 to be fixed in next set of PTF Release Notes or InfoCenter
 upgrade update.

There are references to 3.5.x and 4.0.x, but in others places
in the documentation, specific fix packs are referred to,
such as 3.5.5 and 4.0.2.  The documentation shouldn't be
specific in some places and generic in others.
Problem conclusion
The release notes for 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 will have a link to a
co-existence file that will have the correct information
regarding the various supported configurations.
