Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of Web Services - Atomic          *
    *                  Transactions (WS-AT) on IBM WebSphere       *
    *                  Application Server V6.0.2                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A transaction started by the            *
    *                      requester web application that was      *
    *                      rolled back also rolled back            *
    *                      transactional work that had been done   *
    *                      in the web service, despite being       *
    *                      configured not to.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The transactional deployment attribute "Send Web Services
    Atomic Transaction on requests" property is set on the
    requester web application.  The target web service application
    does not set transactional deployment attribute "Execute using
    Web Services Atomic Transaction on incoming requests".  This
    should result in a transaction started at the requestor being
    propagated across to the web service, but not participating in
    any transaction work done by the web service.  If the
    transaction started by the requester web application is then
    subsequently rolled back, any transactional work done at the
    web service should be unaffected by this rollback.
    
    The deployment property that controls how an inbound Web
    Service Atomic Transaction should be handled is being ignored,
    with the result that work executed at the Web Service is
    always done within the scope of an inbound transaction.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Change transaction service to ensure that an inbound Web
    Services - Atomic Transaction is used correctly at the web
    service, based on the deployment property setting.
    
    As this is a change from the current behaviour, the operation
    of this APAR is controlled by a custom Transaction Service
    property. The custom property is enabled through the
    Administrative Console :
    
    1. Select Application Servers
    2. Select Application server name
    3. Select Container Services>Transaction Service>Custom
    Properties
    4. Select New
    5. Add property name ControlWSATImportFromDeploymentDescriptor
    6. Add property value TRUE
    7. Select OK then Save to apply changes to local configuration
    8. Restart server for changes to take effect
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpack 6.0.2.33.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
    page for delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    
    This APAR is not applicable to WebSphere Application Server
    v6.1 onwards.
