Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Microsoft  *
*                  Windows service users                       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The code to start IBM WebSphere         *
*                      Application Server as a Windows         *
*                      service may not start correctly.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The wasservice tool starts IBM WebSphere Application server as
a Windows service. If wasservice is configured using incorrect
logRoot paths, wasservice will try to determine the process id
from the output of startserver. If the service name contains
numeric data, it may not obtain the correct process id.

Problem conclusion

Code was modified to start searching for the process id from
the end of the messages so that the first numeric information
found will be the process id.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.43, 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.3. Please refer to the
