deployed in it. Unable to  view the visualization metrics on the

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of WebSphere Application Server
also running WebSphere Extended Deployment.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
metrics not showing up in
visualization panel.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) metrics not showing up in
visualization panel.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
If your J2EE client application is being launched from other    
than the WebSphere launchClient utility, you will need to       
install PK51326 and PK51977.   Without these two APARs, IIOP    
metrics will not be displayed in the visualization panels. If   
you do not need IIOP visualization metrics,  you do not need    
either of these two APARs.  If your J2EE client launcher is not 
Work Load Manager (WLM) enabled, you do not need PK51326 and    
PK51977 because nonWLM enabled clients can never produce IIOP   
visualization metrics. The fix will be included in Service Pack 
6.1.0.1 for WebSphere Extended Deployment.                      


Directions to apply fix:  
Install Fix to:
_x Application Server Nodes
__ Deployment Manager Nodes
__ Both

NOTE:
The user must have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments. Also, you should be logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack.

DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE INSTALLER TOOL IN ORDER TO INSTALL A FIX.
The Fix Installer can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21205991

The Update Installer for V5.0 does not have a maintenance directory. It uses fixpacks and fixes as the location of the unpacked files.

Customers must be at V6.0.2.2 or newer of the Update Installer.  This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy PKxxxxx.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (PKxxxxx.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.

7) Install the maintenance package.

8) Restart WebSphere

Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  The user must have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments.

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.
DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.
YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.

1) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that uninstall is being run against.

2) Start Update Installer

3) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to remove the fix.

4) Select  "Uninstall maintenance package" operation.

5) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to uninstall (PKxxxxx.pak).

6) UnInstall maintenance package.

7) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply fix:  
1) Shutdown WebSphere

2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix.

3) Restart WebSphere

Additional Information:  If  your J2EE client application is being launched from 
other than the WebSphere launchClient utility, you will 
need to install PK51326 and PK51977.   Without these 
need to install PK51326 and PK51977.   Without these 
two APARs, IIOP metrics will not be displayed in the 
visualization panels. If you do not need IIOP 
visualization metrics,  you do not need either of 
these two APARs.  If your J2EE client launcher
is not WLM enabled, you do not need PK51326 and 
PK51977 because nonWLM enabled clients can never 
produce IIOP visualization metrics.
The fix will be included in Service Pack 6.1.0.1 for WebSphere 
Extended Deployment.
