Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of WebSphere Batch Function           *
  *                  within IBM WebSphere Application Server     *
  *                  V8.5.                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server must be    *
  *                      restarted to pick up Job Scheduler      *
  *                      Security role to user or group          *
  *                      mapping changes.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a Security role to user or group mapping occurs for the
  Batch Job Scheduler, the scheduler application is stopped,
  updated with the new roles, and then restarted. Upon restart,
  any new batch jobs recieved by the scheduler were being left
  in Submitted state, even though they were being processed.
  

Problem conclusion

• An update was implemented so that the Job Scheduler
  application is dynamically re-initialized after any Security
  role to user/group mapping occurs. Jobs are processed, status
  information updated, and there is no longer a need to recycle
  the WebSphere Application Server.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
