IV36167: CORRECTION NEEDED FOR "ENABLING REPLICATION IN A WEBSPHERE CLUSTER" STEPS.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The steps outlined in the TFIM 6.2.2 documentation for enabling
  WAS cluster replication specify the incorrect replication
  domain.

  Steps 3a and 9a should be changed to "Set the Replication
  domain to the name of the replication domain created when Tivoli
  Federated Identity Manager runtime application is deployed (eg.
  FIM-<cluster_name>)."
  
  3. In the General Properties section of the screen, go to the
  Consistency settings section. Select Enable cache replication.
  Verify that the Consistency Settings area has the following
  values:
  
    a. Full group replication domain
  
    Select the Replication domain created when Tivoli Federated
    Identity Manager runtime application is deployed (eg.
    FIM-<cluster_name>).
  
  9. Specify your replication settings in the General Properties
     panel:
  
     a. Set the Replication domain to the name of the replication
        domain created when Tivoli Federated Identity Manager
        runtime application is deployed (eg. FIM-<cluster_name>).
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• Some of the steps outlined in the TFIM 6.2.2 Configuration guide
  for enabling WAS cluster replication is incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR is contained in the next release: ISAM
  8.0.
  
  Under section Federated Identity Manager > Configuring > Domain
  configuration, in the topic "Enabling replication in a WebSphere
  cluster", steps are 3 and 9a are wrong.
  
  The current steps are:
  
      In the General Properties section of the screen, go to the
  Consistency settings section. Select Enable cache replication.
  Verify that the Consistency Settings area has the following
  values:
          Full group replication domain
          Select the name of the cluster into which you have
  deployed the runtime application
          Replication type: Both push and pull
          Push frequency: 0
  
      Specify your replication settings in the General Properties
  panel:
          Set the Replication domain to the name of the cluster
  into which you have deployed the Tivoli Federated Identity
  Manager runtime application.
          Set Replication mode to Both client and server.
  
  The TFIM cluster does not appear in the "replication domain"
  options.
  
  The steps should be:
  
      In the General Properties section of the screen, go to the
  Consistency settings section. Select Enable cache replication.
  Verify that the Consistency Settings area has the following
  values:
          Full group replication domain
          Select the replication domain created when Tivoli
  Federated Identity Manager application is deployed, for example
  FIM-your_cluster_name or FIM-your_server_name.
          Replication type: Both push and pull
          Push frequency: 0
  
      Specify your replication settings in the General Properties
  panel:
          Set the Replication domain to the name of the
  replication domain created when Tivoli Federated Identity
  Manager runtime application is deployed, for example
  FIM-your_cluster_name or FIM-your_server_name.
          Set Replication mode to Both client and server.
