Abstract:  Data is missing form the visualization data service logs.

Description/symptom of problem:  
PM57787 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:?                                             
The visualization data service does not populate most of the    
visualizations logs with data.                                  

LOCAL FIX:?                                                     

PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Extended Deployment
using visualization data service.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Data is missing form the
visualization data service logs.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Intervals exist in the visualization data service logs
where some data should exist.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
The code was updated to properly accrue all data and properly   
write to the visualization data service logs.

1) Copy 6.1.1.4-WS-WXDOP-IFPM57787.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 (6.1.1.4-WS-WXDOP-IFPM57787.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.
