Error description

• Test connection through wsadmin can fail if a client re-route
  occurs during the testConnection due to the warning :
  0000004b DSConfigurati W   DSRA8043W: The database connection
  has been rerouted.
  
  wsadmin>AdminControl.testConnection(AdminConfig.getid('/DataSour
  ce:db2ds/'))
  'WASX7388E: Connection to provided datasource failed.'

  ****************************************************************
  When doing the testConnection from wsadmin against a
  datasource with the primary database down, the testConnection
  operation is reported as failed as below :
  wsadmin>AdminControl.testConnection(AdminConfig.getid('/DataSour
  ce:db2ds/'))
  'WASX7388E: Connection to provided datasource failed.'
  During the testConnection operation, when the connection gets
  re-routed to the secondary database, the WebSphere RRA
  (adapter) component logs the warning DSRA8043W to indicatate
  that the connection has been re-routed. This warning is
  considered as a failure and hence the wsadmin treats the
  warning as a failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere RRA (adapter) component has been updated to
  ensure that the client re-route warning does not impact the
  testConnection outcome.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.12 and 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the
