Error description
In order to fix an issue with the existing ODM(Operational Decision Manager)jrules resource adapter in WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.x,the resource adapter was updated from WebSphere AdminConsole. The RAR install was successful as it did not thrown any error, not in the adminconsole or in the SystemOut.logs but upon testing, the update did not take effect as the original issue was not resolved. In order to resolve it,the RAR had to be deleted and a new RAR was recreated using the same file.
Local fix

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server using resource adapters with * * invalid ra.xml properies. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Resource adapters ra.xml file that * * contain invalid properties may not * * update with new properties. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If a resource adapters ra.xml file contains invalid properties, when trying to update them in the admin console with fixed resource adapter ra.xml file, the properties may not be visible even after the problem has been fixed by the resource adapter provided.

A fixed ra.xml can now be updated in the admin console. The work around to this problem without this apar is to uninstall the resource adapter with the invalid properties, then install the fixed resource adapter.
