Problem conclusion

• Note: We update our knowledge centers monthly. The following
  Version 9.0 modifications will be available in the
  April/May, 2017
  update to the Knowledge Centers. To access the latest on-line
  documentation, go to the product library page at
  http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library and
  select the version and product that is appropriate for your
  WebSphere Application Server environment.
  
  The following Version 9.0 issues will be addressed:
  
  ID: 240352 (RTC)
  Problem: Topic, Default value and behavior changes from
  previous releases of WebSphere Application Server traditional,
  contains a web-server plugin custom property that is
  misspelled as, KillWebServerUponParseErr, and should be
  spelled as, KillWebServerStartUpOnParseErr.  This can cause
  confusion to customers.
  
  Resolution: Topic, Default value and behavior changes from
  previous releases of WebSphere Application Server traditional,
  is updated the incorrect spelling, KillWebServerUponParseErr,
  is changed to KillWebServerStartUpOnParseErr.

  ID: 781460
  Problem: Topic, plugin-cfg.xml file, has a description of
  GetDWLMTable.  The default setting for V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5.5
  is false, but the V9.0 default setting should be true.  The
  V9.0 knowledge center topic still has a defaut setting of false
  in the description of GetDWLMTable and should be change to true.
  Also, some clarification needs to be added to the description
  of GetDWLMTable when memory-to-memory session management is
  enabled in the WebSphere Application Server.
  
  Resolution: Topic, plugin-cfg.xml file, is updated as follows:
  (1) for V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5.5  the GetDWLMTable description
  reads as is in the knowlege center. But we add the following
  note:
  AVOID TROUBLE: If memory-to-memory session management
  (replication) is enabled in WebSphere Application Server, then
  the GetDWLMTable setting in the plug-in config must be changed
  to "true". memory-to-memory session management (replication)
  uses partition IDs rather than clone IDs. As such, broken
  session affinity can occur if GetDWLMTable is set to false
  (which is the default).
  (2) For V9.0, the description default is changed to "true" and
  the same AVOID TROUBLE note is added to the GetDWLMTable
  description.
