• In the panel :  Global security > Federated repositories >
  Manage repositories > InternalFileRepository

Problem conclusion

• For the InternalFileRepository, we do not pass the
  baseDirectory and fileName parameters to the AdminTask as
  these values are not displayed on the panel.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended
