IT06859: LOCAL MULTI-INSTANCE INTEGRATION NODES ARE NOT SHOWN WITH CORRECT STATUS IN IBEXPLORER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running an integration node in multi instance mode one
  instance will be active and the other in standby. If the active
  instance is a local integration node,  it's running status may
  be incorrectly displayed by Integration Explorer depending upon
  how it was initially started
  
  Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): Mulit-instance
  Integration node, Integration Explorer, incorrect status
  

Local fix

• Connect to the integration node as if it were a remote node.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V9.0 using multi-instance
  integration nodes with a local explorer install.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When using an IBM Integration Explorer (IBX) install against a
  multi-instance integration node, a local integration node can
  appear stopped in IBX when it is the active instance.  This is
  due to the "AdminAgentPID" file only being looked for in the
  local registry, although it will be written to the shared
  filesystem area when using HA.  This returns a PID of 0 to IBX,
  which then marks the node as stopped.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The location of the PID file changes depending upon how the
  broker was initially started.  If it was running standalone and
  was then made multi-instance, then the PID file appears in the
  local registry.  If it was always multi-instance, it appears in
  the shared filestore.  The product looks for the PID file in the
  local registry and the shared filestore.
