APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • OdrPortPathPrefix property was manually added to the
    plugin-cfg.xml file by the user. However, the Plug-in did not
    recognize the propery and the file would write to a directory
    that was not writeable
    
    The property is hardcoded to write to INSTANCE_DIR/logs
    
    User is unable to change the property to write the file to
    a custom directory.
    
    This property is also not available as a Plug-in property that
    can be added in the web server definition in the WebSphere
    Admin Console.
    
    Versions where problem was reproduced:
    WebSphere Plugin 8.5.5.14
    WebSphere Plugin 9.0.0.10

    ****************************************************************
    PI55092 introduced a way for customers to add new custom
    properties within the plugin-cfg.xml file.  This new
    feature utilizes a prefix like PLG.config or PLG.cluster.  The
    plugin gen knows to look for these labels and then adds the
    property to the proper place within the XML.  It was
    discovered that the area that contains the "ESI" type
    properties didn't have any way to get a custom property.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This appar addresses this by acknowledging the PLG.prop
    prefix
    and will add properties within the <Property Name section
    which is just below the <Config tag.  These properties are
    added within the Admin Console at Webserver -> [servername]
    ->
    plugin properties -> custom properties.
    
    See APAR PI55092 for details on the other prefixes used to
    set custom properties.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.16 & 9.0.5.0.  Please refer to the
