APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Profile creation or augmentation might fail. Also, even on a
successful profile create, the logfile might show
configuration actions, from other local WebSphere Application
Server installs, have been run.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and V8.0                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the Profile Management       *
*                      Tool (PMT) to create or augment         *
*                      profiles, configuration actions from    *
*                      other installs may incorrectly be run.  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The Profiles framework builds a cache of normalized template
paths. These template paths can legitimately be to other
WebSphere Application Server installs as profile creation
interrogates all WebSphere Application Server installs for
port information. Since the cache's key value is a relative
path value, an incorrect normalized path can be retrieved from
the cache resulting in the wrong config actions being run.
Note that this problem can only occur if the PMT is used to
create and/or augment multiple profiles in one session.

Problem conclusion

The problem is resolved by using the cached template path's
non-normalized absolute path as the associated key (rather
than it's relative path).

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
