Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5 editing memberships of garbage  *
  *                  collection health policies.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cannot edit memberships of garbage      *
  *                      collection health policies when using   *
  *                      Microsoft Internet Explorer to access   *
  *                      the administrative console.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An undefined variable in the code that handles editing garbage
  collection health policy memberships prevents users from
  successfully doing so on Microsoft Internet Explorer, as code
  run is halted on that error. Other browsers, such as Mozilla
  Firefox, populate that variable name with other data by
  default, allowing the function to succeed with respect to
  editing the memberships.
  

Problem conclusion

• A correctly defined variable is now referenced in the code
  handling editing of garbage collection health policy
  memberships.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
