Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Version to Version Migration * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After the migration, plugin-cfg.xml * * includes all targets in the cell * * instead of just those in the old * * plugin-cfg.xml * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** After migration, a web services task WSUpdateARSTask runs which targets the ibmasyncrsp.ear application to appropriate servers. Without the fix, ibmasyncrsp.ear is targeted at any server that is not a nodeagent or dmgr, which includes application servers but also web servers, on-demand routers, and other server types which it doesn't need to be. Then, when plugin-cfg.xml is generated, it includes all of these extra servers and clusters that ibmasyncrsp.ear was targeted at.
Problem conclusion
The task was adjusted to only target the ibmasyncrsp.ear application at application servers, preventing the additional server/cluster information from being added to plugin-cfg.xml. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17.
