PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Virtual
Enterprise V7.0 and 7.0.0.1

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
From the Runtime Operations > Reports
panel in admin console, saving a
chart group on the page will causes
blank screen.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The page's JSP gets the contextId from an HTTP request.
However, in this particular navigation, the contextId is not
passed on the http request.  Thus, it caused a NULL
contextId.  When the security is enabled, such a null
contextId caused an exception during the checking access
rights.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
The code was updated to set the contextId to "NOCONTEXT"        
when it is not passed on the http request.                      
                                                                
This fix will be included in the next available fix pack for    
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise.
