PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

 All IBM WebSphere Application Server
Feature
Pack for Communications Enabled
Applications
(CEA) users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the Feature Pack for CEA
application is installed, the
configuration is saved before
confirmation.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When the Feature Pack for CEA application is installed,
changes to the configuration are saved to the master
repository before the user confirms the changes.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
After the application is installed, we do not save the          
configuration to the master repository.
