APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases, clone ID is not present in the collective
  repository when Dynamic Routing sends initial routing
  information about a collective member. For these collective
  members, Dynamic Routing sends empty clone ID to the
  Intelligent Management enabled WebSphere Plug-in. When clone
  ID becomes available, Dynamic Routing sends updated clone ID
  to the Plug-in. But the Plug-in does not allow to update
  clone ID once it is set. So, Dynamic Routing is changed to
  not to send clone ID if it is not present in the repository.

• Dynamic Routing was changed to not to send a clone ID if it is
  not present in the repository.
