PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server 6.0.2.2 users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Federate a custom node will clean the
CEI configuration in dmgr.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Whenever a custom node is added to a dmgr, the CEI
configuration of the dmgr will be cleaned no matter the dmgr
is empty or not. After that, the CEI can't function correctly
in the ND env.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
This is fixed by correcting the custom/standalone node detection
function in the current code. The CEI configuration merge       
action should only be taken when adding                         
a standalone node.
