PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
IBM WebSphere Application Server version
6.1 users who use the custom Performance
Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) application.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
CWPMI0010W seen in deployment manager
log and PMI metric names are blank in
Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV).

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When using the PMI API to define custom metrics and when
viewing these metrics in the Administrative Console using
TPV on a deployment manager configuration, these metrics are
not displayed.  Empty fields are displayed even when valid PMI
xml files and resources exist. When this occurs the CWPMI0010W
error message is displayed in the deployment manager trace log.
The problem occurred because the ModuleConfigParser was not
loading the custom pmi application resources.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The code has been modified to properly load the files.          
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion       
in fixpack 6.1.0.11.
