Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Websphere Application Server, V6.1.0.23 fix pack Plugin is
incorrectly setting the WSFO header. This leads to cache
discards of session data and cacheId increments.

There is an incorrect handling for the case where Partition
Tables are used.

Local fix

Back out of Plugin fix 6.1.0.23 to any previous plugin fixpacks.
This was introduced with fp 23.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server & Web Server Plug-in at V6.1.0.23 or *
*                  V7.0.0.3 using Memory to Memory Replication *
*                  method for Session Affinity.                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Plug-in always appends the HTTP header  *
*                      $WSFO to requests. This forces session  *
*                      to continuously refresh the Cache and   *
*                      increment the response cache-ID.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Web server Plug-in did not check for the special session
affinity failure condition when Session Configuration uses the
Memory-to-memory Replication method. Plug-in always appended
$WSFO.

Problem conclusion

The plug-in has been corrected.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.25, 7.0.0.4 and 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
