PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Compute Grid for
distributed platform and z/OS platform
6.1.1.0 and 6.1.1.2

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Compute Grid Production environment
ceased running jobs through WSGrid

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When job ids are wrapped around, the
2-phase job submission query might return false positive
result for job id validation. This invalidates the job id that
the job scheduler is expecting and causes the job scheduler to
throw a runtime exception.
Any WSGrid job submission in this path will not be processed

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The job scheduler query to the database has been modify to      
submit a proper filter string to eliminate false positive       
result.

    The user must:
       * Have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environment.
       * Be Logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack.
       * Be at V7.0.0.5 or later of the Update Installer. This can be checked by reviewing the level

  For detailed instructions on how to extract the Update Installer see the following Technote:
       http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006162

  1) Copy 6.1.1.2-WS-WXDCG-IFPM17401.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.
     It is important that you perform a controlled and complete shutdown of the server to ensure
     that all transactions have completed, before installing the fix.

  3) Launch the 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.

  7) Install the maintenance package.

  8) Restart WebSphere.

    * 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.
     It is important that you perform a controlled and complete shutdown of the server to ensure
     that all transactions have completed, before installing the fix.

  2) Launch the Update Installer.
