  ****************************************************************
  The Cognos cache clearing service in IBM Business Monitor
  contained checking for an HTTP server, but it made incorrect
  assumptions about how the HTTP server is represented in the
  base WebSphere Application Server configuration, so it did not
  work in all configurations.  This checking logic has been
  corrected.
  The problem will be resolved in future maintenance releases
  of Version 7.5.1 and Version 8.0.
