PI28074: WEBSPHERE PLUG-IN FOR THE IBM HTTP SERVER WILL ISSUE MVS CONSOLE MESSAGE IF INITIALIZATION FAILS.

APAR status

Closed as new function.

Error description

The IBM HTTP Server could initialize successfully but the
WebSphere plugin could fail to initialize.  This could make
the IHS unusable.  Currently the system operator would not
know that the plugin failed without looking in filesystem log
files.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of Apache based IBM WebSphere     *
*                  Application Server Plugin for V7.0 and      *
*                  above running on z/OS.                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WebSphere HTTP Plugin could fail    *
*                      to initialize without the operator      *
*                      realizing it, because the web server    *
*                      could still start successfully.         *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The IBM Http Server(IHS) could successfully start but the
WebSphere HTTP Plugin could fail to initialize.  This would
create a situation where the web server could accept requests
but not handle any requests normally processed by the
WebSphere Plugin.

Problem conclusion

The WebSphere HTTP Plugin will now write the
following message to the z/OS console if it fails to initialize.
PLGC1001E: WebSphere HTTP Plugin failed to initialize.
The message is issued via a consople service and therefore
will prefixed with message number BPXM023I and the userid the
webserver is running under. For example:
BPXM023I (WASTST1) PLGC1001E: WebSphere HTTP Plugin failed to
initialize

APAR PI28074 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.11, and 8.5.5.5 of WebSphere Application Server
