    *                      scheduler that has been removed,        *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The EJB Timer panel did not indicate when the scheduler being
    used had been deleted.  This caused the EJB Timer not to work
    but the user was not notified on the panel.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The console displays an error on the EJB Timer panel when it
    is displayed if the scheduler it is using has been removed.
