Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Traditional Websphere Network Deployment    *
  *                  with                                        *
  *                  Intelligent é áManagement é áenabled é áPlugi
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: For IM enabled plugin the webserverName *
  *                      is a concatenation of Cell, Node and    *
  *                      webserver names using underscores.      *
  *                      When one or more of these names contain *
  *                      an underscore parsing may fail          *
  *                      preventing Routing Rules from being     *
  *                      configured properly at the webserver.   *
  *                      This problem also affects the setting   *
  *                      of trace levels for the specific IM     *
  *                      enabled plugin.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a customer reports Routing Rules (or the setting of a trace
  spec) failing to perform on the webserver, check the plugin-
  cfg.xml for the  óÔé¼ ôwebserverName óÔé¼  ¢ entry to see if it
  more
  than two underscores.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code for the Intelligent Management enabled plugin was
  modified to handle the use of underscores.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.22 & 9.0.5.13. For more information, see 'Recommended
