PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Application Server version 6.0.2
users that use the administrative console to
configure the Work area partition service.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The Work area partition service link
is missing on the WebSphere
Application Server administrative
console.


RECOMMENDATION:
None



Due to incorrect version checking, after applying a service
pack in the range of 6.0.2.10 through 6.0.2.16, the Work area
partition service link is no longer shown on the
administrative console.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
This issue has been resolved, and the code changes for the      
APAR are available in service pack 6.0.2.17.  The problem does  
not exist in 6.1 version of WebSphere Application Server.
