PM76929: LIBERTY JDBC METATYPE FOR DB2 HAS A MISSPELLING THAT CAUSES THE DATA SOURCE TO FAIL UNLESS A VALUE IS EXPLICITY DEFINED

8.5.0.2: WebSphere Application Server V8.5 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since the word "required" is misspelled, it is assumed the
  property is required and therefore a user must explicitly
  provide a value for the activateDatabase property, else it
  will fail.

  required.
