PK66774: COM.IBM.CORBA.SERVERID IS NOT HONORED BY WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER V6.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• com.ibm.CORBA.ServerId is not honored in WebSphere Application
  Server 6.0 when set at generic JVM argument or as a ORB custom
  property. This property is completely ignored and the default
  HEX value for "server1" is used always as a serverId.
  
  orb.omg.CORBA.ORBServerId works fine on 6.1.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V6.0.2                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A user specified value for              *
  *                      com.ibm.CORBA.ServerId                  *
  *                      custom property is not honored.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If you add the ORB custom property com.ibm.CORBA.ServerId, its
  value is ignored by Application Server and the serverId is set
  to something default related to serverName.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed the code so that people who want to set
  com.ibm.CORBA.ServerId to be something different from
  the default, can add a JVM argument for the specific
  application server:
  -Dcom.ibm.ejs.oa.enableServerIDChange=true", that is, in
  the administrative console:
  Application Servers->server1->Process Definition->Java Virtual
  machine-> field "generic JVM arguments", add this argument.
  Then you can add or edit an ORB custom property
  com.ibm.CORBA.ServerId to a certain value and that value will
  be used to set the serverId in ORB.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.0.2.31.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
  page for delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  
  Note this applies to V6.0.2 only as this property is
  deprecated in V6.1 and higher.
