PI13983: PROPERTIES FILE BASED CONFIGURATION (PFBC) DOES NOT UPDATE THE SESSION POOL SECTION OF A JMS CONNECTION FACTORY

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When using WebSphere PFBC to make changes to the session pool
configuration of a JMS Connection Factory (Queue or Topic), the
requested changes are not made.

To recreate the problem, do the following:

(1)  Create a JMS [Queue|Topic] Connection Factory using
     the Admin Console or AdminConfig wsadmin commands

(2)  Use the extractConfigProperties command to extract
     the configuration for the server:
     AdminTask.extractConfigProperties('-propertiesFileName
     my_test.props -configData Server=server1 -options
     [[PortablePropertiesFile true]]')

(3)  Modify the sessionPool subsection to include the desired
     values

(4)  Use the apply command to apply it back to
     the configuration:
     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName
     modified_my_test.props -reportFileName
     my_test_report.txt]') AdminConfig.save()

The result is that the session pool is not updated with
the desired values.  This can be seen upon review of the
session pool values in the resources.xml file or in the
WebSphere Admin Console.

Local fix

1)  Use AdminConfig.modify() commands or the Administrative
    Console to make the necessary changes to the session pool
    values.

2)  Limited usage: Another workaround for session pool
    configuration attribute updates would be to extract a
    MQQueueConnectionFactory object using the
    AdminTask.extractConfigProperties() command without
    specifying "PortablePropertiesFile true" (by default, it
    is set to false).

    Then, modify the attribute(s) and apply the property file
    back to the SAME object of the same server using the
    AdminTask.applyConfigProperties() command.

    The limitation is that this approach is not portable, which
    means that you can not apply the modified property file to a
    different MQQueueConnectionFactory configuration object
    within a server or to a MQQueueConnectionFactory
    configuration object on a different server.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0 and   *
*                  V8.5.5 users of Property File Based         *
*                  Configuration (PFBC) commands.              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AdminTask.applyConfigProperties         *
*                      command                                 *
*                      does not update the session pool        *
*                      section of a JMS connection fatory.     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack containing this APAR.    *
****************************************************************
The session pool section of a JMS connection factory is not
updated or created using AdminTask.applyConfigProperties
command
as the configuration object instance in this case is not
uniquely identified.

Problem conclusion

Added the logic to uniquely identify a connection pool
configuration object instance in the
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties command implementation.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.10. and 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the
