  ****************************************************************
  Without the tag in the registrar XML to indicate SMF 89-1
  records, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS will register
  with IFAEDREG in the controller address space -- nothing happens
  in the servant address space. However, the servant code still
  passes back a return code that doesn't get explicitly set in
  this case. If the returned storage happens to NOT be zeros, then
  this problem will occur. If storage does happen to be zeros, and
  there are multiple registrar files, there is also the potential
  for the product name to be missing from message ADMA9007I due to
  a bug in the code that only looks at the first registrar file it
  finds.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was updated to properly initialize return code storage
  and to ensure all applicable registrar files are examined.
  
  APAR PK90874 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.7 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
