PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
Websphere Process Server version 6.1.2.x
users.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The milliseconds format in datetime
data objects is not consistent.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Websphere Process Server does not persist millisecond in
datetime type as a three digit value. This causes the leading
zeros in a millisecond value not to be respected. For example
005 millisecond is persisted as 5 millisecond.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
The millisecond format is changed to hold a three digit value.  
Installing this ifix will solve the reported problem.
