Readme File for IBM® Platform Symphony 6.1.1 Interim Fix 487165

Readme File for: Platform Symphony

Product Release: 6.1.1

Update Name: Interim Fix 487165

Fix ID: sym-6.1.1-build487165

Publication Date: April 18, 2018

Under race conditions in a Platform Symphony 6.1.1 cluster, when workload arrives between the time a package is updated on the repository server (RS) and the time the service director (SD) updates the package version in the application profile, some warning and error messages are printed to the soamdeploy, sim, and rs logs, saying the package download failed. These messages are misleading because the correct package version is downloaded later and workload remains unaffected. This interim fix resolves this issue.
