PM15953: FEATURE PACK FOR SCA ADDNODE VALIDATION IS TOO STRICT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A version 7 node with the Feature Pack for Service Component
  Architecture(SCA) installed can not be federated into a cell
  via the addNode command if the deployment manager does not
  have the Feature Pack for SCA installed or is not at an
  acceptable version. This behavior is intended, but the
  validation logic is too strict with respect to higher version
  numbers.

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using the addNode command to add a node with the WebSphere
  Application Server Feature Pack for Service Component
  Architecture (SCA) installed to a deployment manager with a
  higher version number than the node, validation may prevent
  the command from executing.
  
  When this error occurs you will see the following exception
  message from the addNode command:
  
  addNode validation has failed. The Feature Pack for SCA is
  installed on this node, but is not installed on the Deployment
  Manager. The Deployment Manager must also have the Feature Pack
  for SCA installed. The node has not been added.
  

Problem conclusion

• The validation performed when the addNode command is run was
  made less strict so a WebSphere Application Server Feature
  Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) node can be added
  to a deployment manager with a higher version number.
  
  APAR PM15953 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 1.0.1.7 of WebSphere Application Server v7
  Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) Refresh
  Pack. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
