WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V8.5 Refresh Pack 2
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V8.5.6 Fix Pack 1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR fixes a regression in WSRR V8.5.0.1.
  
  With WebSphere Application Server Administrative or Application
  security disabled you cannot export objects in the WSRR Web UI.
  The following error is given:
  
  "The export operation can only be performed by an Administrator.
  Try the operation again using a user in the Administrator J2EE
  role."
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V8.5
  Web UI
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A new error message was added to give a helpful explanation when
  a non-Administrator user attempted to export with security
  enabled. This change prevented anyone from exporting when
  security was disabled.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new check was added so that export is always possible when
  security is disabled.
  
  This APAR is targeted for inclusion in WSRR V8.5.5.1.
