PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server v6.1 Users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Resubmission of failed event using
the failed event manager with
modified simple type data may not work.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Because of an internal glitch in the Service Component
Architecture (SCA) message processing runtime, the updated
values of a failed event through the Failed Event Manager
console were lost and reverted back to the old value.
As a result, resubmitting the failed event would cause
the same behavior as the original message as if no data
updated in the Failed Event Manager.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in    
fixpack 6.1.0.1.
