IBM Platform Symphony 7.1 Interim Fix 432967 Readme File

Abstract

Misleading error message in the SIM log, regarding a restarted service.
 

Description

The SIM log reports an error indicating that a service is restarted due to terminating the SI before registering back to the SIM. This is misleading because the system has not actually restarted a service. After applying this fix, this scenario no longer triggers an error message.

 

This interim fix applies only to the following platform:

       Linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64
