ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
Customer complains that when they deactivate a new version of an
application deployed on a WebLogic server, they have to stop and
restart  the WebLogic server. This is the same behavior with    
JBoss server too.                                               

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
None                                                            

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Users of WebSphere Extended Deployment
V6.1 using unmanaged web application
support, particularly those who utilize
edition  management.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
User could not deactivate a started
unmanaged web application from the
administrative console.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Users were asked to stop their started unmanaged web
application before they were allowed to deactivate the
particular application edition.  The iFix addresses this issue
and allow users to deactivate the unmanaged web application
edition even if it is in the started state.

For managed applications, one would still need to stop the
application before one can deactivate the active edition.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
With the iFix, users can now deactivate a started unmanaged     
web application.                                                
                                                                
The fix will be included in XD 6.1.0.1.
