Error description
The predecessor to xscmd, xsadmin, prints out the results of a similar command with sorted partition IDs, such as the following: Here is xsadmin output: Shard Type Partition State Host Zone Primary 0 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 1 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 2 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 3 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone ... However, in xscmd, the output is not sorted by partition ID: Shard Type Partition State Host Zone Primary 10 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 12 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 14 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone Primary 16 reachable myhost.mycom.com DefaultZone If customer scripts make an assumption that the partition information will be sorted by ID, then they moving break upon moving to v8.5 or higher.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM WebSphere eXtreme * * Scale xscmd command-line interface, v8.5 * * or higher * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Thexscmd -c routetable command does * * not * * sort * * by * * Parttion ID. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install fixpack containing this APAR, or * * request an iFix containing this APAR. * **************************************************************** If you wrote scripts based on the xsadmin output to check the health of the routes with the routetable command, you might notice that in Version 8.5, the partition ID sorting no longer exists. The change in behavior is due to the deprecation of the RouteTableValidation ObjectGrid API from Version 7.1.1 in favor of an updated API in Version 8.5 and later.
Problem conclusion
The xscmd tool was updated to tolerate the API change. The xscmd -c routetable command was updated to sort by partition ID.
Temporary fix
