APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • AdminTask.checkMode command returns "false" when the maintenance
    mode property of a server is not set (either because it does not
    exist or because it does not support maintenance mode), instead
    of showing an error.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server                                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: checkMode AdminTask command returns     *
    *                      "false" when given a non-existent       *
    *                      server or one that does not support     *
    *                      maintenance mode.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The AdminTask.checkMode command was equating property "Not
    Found" conditions with "false", making it seem that the
    specified server existed, supported maintenance mode, and it
    was not enabled.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The command was updated to show an error when the specified
    server is non-existent or does not support maintenance mode,
    instead of returning "false".
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
