APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Shared library mappings are not correct if modified during
  application update
  
  
  - to preserve the library reference like 6.0 even if
  "-update.ignore.old" is specified by using a JVM property
  - if new library reference is specified to override the existing
  ones remove the existing ones.
  

Local fix

• Modify the mappings after application update has completed.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  versions 6.1.0.17 and above, and 7.0.0.0    *
  *                  and above.                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After an application is updated, the    *
  *                      application and module configurations   *
  *                      include the original shared library     *
  *                      settings in addition to those that      *
  *                      were specified during the update        *
  *                      operation.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  After an application is updated, the application and module
  configurations include the original shared library settings in
  addition to those that were specified during the update
  operation. Shared libraries specified during an application
  update operation should replace the original settings, not add
  to them.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for APAR PK57399 introduced inconsistent behavior in
  an attempt to satisfy a customer request. This APAR reverts
  behavior back to the intended behavior. In order to force
  system behavior to that implemented by PK57399, set the
  property
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.keepExistingSharedLibra
  ries as a system property with a value of "true". PK57399 was
  integrated into the product service stream in version 6.1.0.17
  and was carried forth into the initial release of version 7.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 6.1.0.37 and 7.0.0.17. Please refer to the
