Error description
In WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5 with Global security enabled and application security disabled, the Job Management Console does not display the submit jobs option.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Java Batch * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: With application security * * disabled, the batch Job Management * * Console web application does not * * display the "submit jobs" option. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Job Management Console panel display logic attempts to filter out operations so that only those users authorized to perform a given operation can see that option displayed in the web application. In the case where Application Security is disabled, we treat the userid as if it did not have authorization to submit jobs, and so the "submit jobs" option is not displayed.
Problem conclusion
The Job Management Console panel display logic has been updated to display the submit job option when General Server Security is enabled while Application security is disabled. This extends the general approach of simply bypassing any batch authorization checks when accessing job scheduler operations. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.14.
