    /wsadmin.sh -user <username> -password <password> -lang
    jython

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All Users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Virtual Enterprise/IM Component      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AdminTask.setMaintenanceMode does not   *
    *                      detect an incorrect node name           *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When using the AdminTask.setMaintenanceMode command the user
    provides a node and server name which will get set into
    maintenance mode. If the node name is incorrect, the command
    does not report it and will instead set an arbitrary server into
    maintenance mode.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The node name and server name refer to a unique configuration
    location. Code was altered to ensure that the node name is
    correct and that the requested server exists on that node. If
    either of these items are incorrect an error message is
    displayed from wsadmin which notifies the user of failure, and
    it indicates there was a problem with setting maintenance mode
    on for that server by either reporting the incorrect node name
    or informing the user that the server does not exist on that
    node.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.12.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
