APAR status

Error description

• Environment: Microsoft Windows2003 Server
  WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment edition,
  version 6.1.0.9
  
  Problem: The "Pretest existing pooled connections" value is
  changing back to the default when another field is changed.
  -
  Problem Details:
  
  This is the panel where the setting is modified:
  
  Data sources > Default Datasource > WebSphere Application
  Server data source
  
  First, check the "Pretest existing pooled connections" and save
  the configuration. Then, bring up the panel again and change
  the "Minimum connections", and then bring up the panel again
  and see that Pretest existing pooled connections" is
  unchecked. The resource.xml file now shows
  testConnection="false" again.
