APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Add the following custom properties using the Administrative
  Console.
  Administrative Console
  Resource > JDBC > Data sources > [DATASOURCE] > Custom
  Properties
  The name and type are defined as follows
  D: java.lang.Double
  E: java.lang.Byte
  F: java.lang.Short
  -
  In the resources.xml file the following entries are found.
  name="D" type="java.lang.Double" value="0.0" required="false"/>
  name="E" type="java.lang.Byte" value="0" required="false"/>
  name="F" type="java.lang.Short" value="0" required="false"/>
  -
  Running the wsadmin command
  AdminTask.extractConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName
  server1.props -configData Server=server1]')
  -
  It shows within the server1.props file the following datasource
  entries
  D=0.0 #String
  E=0 #String
  F=0 #String
  ------
  Adding the following datasources using wsadmin adds them to the
  resources.xml as type String rather then their defined data
  types
  server1.props
  ----------------
  D2=0.0 #Double
  E2=0 #Byte
  F2=0 #Short
  -
  >wsadmin
  AdminTask.applyConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName
  server1.props]')
  AdminConfig.save()
  --
  Added to the resources.xml file as
  name="D2" type="java.lang.String" value="0.0" required="false"/>
  name="E2" type="java.lang.String" value="0" required="false"/>
  name="F2" type="java.lang.String" value="0" required="false"/>
  --
  

Local fix

• Workaround continue to update the datasouces using the Admin
  Console.

  ****************************************************************
  Types double, byte, and short are extracted as type String
  instead of the actual type.
