APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• WSADMIN is ignoring Yes and No options in non-English locales.
  
  For example, the following fails when the locale is not English.
  
  $AdminApp edit ITMWebServiceEAR [list -MapRolesToUsers {{"chartV
  iewer" No Yes "" ""}}]
  
  If the "No Yes" options are changed to the correct language
  locale then it works fine.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server wsadmin    *
  *                  users of versions 6.0.2 and 6.1.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: wsadmin ignores YES and NO options in   *
  *                      non-english locales.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  During application deployment update and edit operations
  through wsadmin, it provides Yes and No keywords to specify
  boolean flags for application bindings.
  For example,
  $AdminApp edit $appname {  -MapRolesToUsers {{AppAdmin No Yes
  "" admin}}}
  
  But, if you run the command in a non-English locale, the Yes
  keyword is not recognized. The AdminApp command was designed
  to accept the boolean flag values with the equivalent
  keywords of the JVM locale. But, it is troublesome to change
  the script to run in different locales.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix will allow you to specify both English and the locale
  equivalents of the Yes or No keywords with AdminApp commands.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 6.0.2.31 and 6.1.0.21.  Please refer to the
