APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Because we do not have server type attribute in the WS group
  member object, get tree requests is sent to servers that can not
   respond to such requests, hence getting 404 on HTTP requests.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere Application Server        *
  *                 Network Deployment version 6.1.0.5 and below *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WS group members class needs server     *
  *                      type attribute, otherwise there is no   *
  *                      other way to decide which server can    *
  *                      receive certain messages.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Need to add a new member to the WsGroupMember class for use in
  deciding which server type to send getTreeRequest to. Without
  this new attribute there is no way to decide that which leads
  to a problem of sending the request to a server that can not
  handle such requests. The result is the client request
  receives a 404 error - resource not found.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added the attribute to the class and that resolves problem.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion
  in fixpack 6.1.0.7.
