Closed as program error.

Error description
When using the SM Scripting API tool of WebSphere Application
Server v4.01 to create a server instance the customer
encountered a problem.  While creating the instance, she was
able to specify a system that is not defined in the SM.  When
browsing the new server instance via the SM EUI, she received
error message BBON0552E  "<systemname> data is in error."
Customer feels that the SM API should generate a message when
the invalid system name is entered.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Systems Management Scripting        *
*                      API(SMAPI) allows creation of a server  *
*                      instance with an invalid system name    *
*                      specified.                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The SMAPI does not check for validity of the provided system
name when defining a new server instance. The server instance
is created without an error. Browsing the server instances via
the SMEUI will indicate an error (BBON8900E). Committing the
conversation will subsequently fail.
Problem conclusion
The validity of the system name will be checked before
creating the server instance. The following error message will
indicate the failure.
message.1 BBON3199E Method createserverinstance failed.
message.2 BBON1000E The System object, "x", could not be found.
