PK82629: APPLICATION BINARIES PUSHED TO WEBSERVER CONFIGURATION WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an application is deployed and mapped to a webserver,
  the application binaries will be pushed to that node even if
  it's not also mapped to an application server on that node.
  This is unnecessary since webservers do not use the application
  binaries.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is no need to sync an             *
  *                      application to nodes that only have a   *
  *                      WebServer running that application.     *

  ****************************************************************
  During WebSphere Application Server nodeSync, we have code
  that will open the ServerIndex.xml file of that node, collect
  all applications that are installed on all the servers of that
  node and sync those applications.  The problem is that we look
  at "all" the servers of that node including web servers.
  WebServers do not run applications as they are only modeled in
  the configuration without any runtime.
  There is no need to sync applications to those nodes that
  only have a WebServer running that application. When we
  collect a list of apps to be sent down to the node, we should
  skip any processing of WebServers.
  
  So during nodeSync, this fix does not look at WebServers at all
  while collecting the list of applications.  In other words,
  during nodeSync when we collect a list of applications to be
  sent down to the node, we should skip any processing of
  WebServers.
  

Problem conclusion

• Source code has been modified to not distribute the
  application to the nodes that only have WebServers running
  the application.
  
  APAR PK82629 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
