APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The new generic property Props.LiveUpdate was introduced in 8.1
  fixpack 22 (APAR IJ21246).
  When this property is set to TRUE, and an update to the props
  file is detected, the file is reread and processed at runtime
  without the need to stop/restart a component.
  The ObjectServer already supports property updates via the SQL
  'ALTER SYSTEM SET' command. Any property update via this command
  should always take precedence over any manual props file
  updates. Even though we would not recommend it, it should be
  possible to update one property via the props file whilst
  another using the SQL command, without the one update
  interfering with the other.
  Only properties that can also be updated via 'ALTER SYSTEM SET'
  command should become effective if the update is attempted via
  the propsfile. (Many ObjectServer properties are READONLY)

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users that use the ObjectServer SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM SET'       *
  * command to update an ObjectServer property on an             *
  * ObjectServer that has Props.LiveUpdate set to 'TRUE'.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * With Props.LiveUpdate set to 'TRUE', and a property was      *
  * updated and reread from the props file, the value of the     *
  * property was not also updated in the catalog.properties      *
  * table. The easiest way to test this is to execute a V3 style *
  * command: get prop '<propname>'.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
