PI35384: UNABLE TO DEPLOY IN WAS ND RUNTIMES AND CONSOLE IN DIFFERENT SERVERS/CLUSTERS

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 6.3
IBM Worklight Interim Fix README for 6.2.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• As the runtimes must be installed in the same WAS server or
  cluster than the administration services it is impossible in WAS
  ND to install runtimes in different servers or clusters than the
  console. It provokes two problems :
  
  1) Inability to partition and scale clusters or servers
  according to mobile app SLAs
  2) Inability to define seperate WebSphere security domains for
  the console and the runtimes so use different user registries
  (LDAP servers) between console and runtimes

Problem conclusion

• Now non symmetric deployment is also supported meaning that the
  Worklight runtimes can be deployed in a WAS ND cell in another
  cluster/server than the admin services that administrates them.
