PM30968; Parition Table affinity is not maintained by plug-in

Download


Abstract

Affinity can be maintained by using the partition table information from WebSphere Application Server

Download Description

PM30968 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Partition table is not checked for affinity under certain conditions

LOCAL FIX:
None

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and V7.0 web server plug-in users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Affinity can be maintained by using partition table information from WebSphere® Application Server

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The webserver plug-in runs through several checks to determine affinity. It checks for cookie affinity, URL rewrites, and then searches the partition table. A status code might be set from earlier searches indicating that searching is complete when a server had not be selected.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Modified the code to check whether a server is selected or not regardless of the status indicator.

The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs 6.1.0.39 and 7.0.0.17. Delivery information is available in the "Recommended Updates" page: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
