    ****************************************************************
    When performing atomic rollout on zOS where target includes a
    Web Server, the rollout fails due to timeout error. The timeout
    occurs because the web server state is incorrectly determined
    to
    be stopped.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The Intelligent Management application edition rollout code was
    altered to determine whether the rollout target is a web server,
    and if so, to correctly determine the server state.
