Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)   *
  *                 who create CEI event groups when             *
  *                 WebSphere Application Server with            *
  *                 CEI is started.                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In the current implementation of the    *
  *                      Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) in    *
  *                      order to have access to the newly       *

  Here is a short description of the solution used to solve this
  issue
  1. Create a new jacl command ceiconfigreload.jacl which
  performs the reloading of all Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)
  WebSphere Application Server resources into the WebSphere
  Application Server name space.
  2. Create a new custom property of type Boolean at the Event
  Service level. When set to true Common Event Infrastructure
  performs the JNDI lookups directly from the WebSphere
  Application Server naming service and not from the
  InitialContext() cache.
  
  If you define a new event group, even if WebSphere Application
  Server with Common Event Infrastructure is not restarted,
  you have the possibility to reload Common Event
  Infrastructure resources and use them, without restarting
  WebSphere Application Server.
  

Problem conclusion

• Applying the iFix associated with this APAR, the
  Common Event Infrastructure exploiters will be able to make use
  of the newly created event groups without the need to restart
  the WebSphere Application Server.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.1.0.11. Please refer to the recommended updates page
