Abstract:  Errors occur when augmenting Virtual Enterprise with WebSphere Application Server and the Feature Pack for Modern Batch.

Description/symptom of problem:  
PM22029 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
During the augmentation of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, a      
script to create DefaultGridClassRules is ran. Since the        
operation applies to Compute Grid, however, Virtual Enterprise  
should not perform the operation.                               
                                                                
Previous problems did not exist with Virtual Enterprise since   
the creation depends on the existence of the WebSphere          
Application Server GridClassRules type. This type is            
introduced by the WebSphere Application Server Modern Batch     
Feature Pack. No errors occur when                              
DefaultGridClassRules is created by Compute Grid since the      
script to create this object in Compute Grid has been           
modified, and is different than the script that is included in  
Virtual Enterprise.                                             
                                                                
The action to create DefaultGridClassRules must be removed from 
Virtual Enterprise.                                             

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
None                                                            

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users who are running WebSphere
Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.x with
WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.x
and the Feature Pack for Modern Batch.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Errors occur when augmenting Virtual
Enterprise with WebSphere Application
Server and the Feature Pack for
Modern Batch.

RECOMMENDATION:
 Apply the interim fix that is associated
with this APAR before augmenting Virtual
Enterprise.

During the augmentation of Virtual Enterprise, a configuration
action, which should not be performed, is invoked. The
WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.x Feature Pack for
Modern Batch creates a new type of WebSphere Application
Server object and exposes this problem.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
This APAR removes the configuration action that should not be   
performed.                                                      
                                                                
This fix will be included in the next available fix pack for    
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise.                                   


Directions to apply fix:  Install Fix to:

__ Application Server Nodes
__ Deployment Manager Nodes
_X_ Both

1) Copy 6.1.1.2-WS-WXDOP-IFPM22029.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (6.1.1.2-WS-WXDOP-IFPM22029.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  

7) Install the maintenance package.

8) Restart WebSphere

Directions to remove fix:

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.
DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.

1) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that uninstall is being run against.

2) Start Update Installer

3) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to remove the fix.

4) Select  "Uninstall maintenance package" operation.

5) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to uninstall (6.1.1.2-WS-WXDOP-IFPM22029.pak).

6) UnInstall maintenance package.

7) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply fix:
