    This APAR provides improved support, rather than a bug fix.
    IBM has recently begun providing debugging information (.pdb
    files) for native Windows libraries used in our products. This
    has no effect on normal operation of the products, but
    should help us provide better customer support when if a
    problem is encountered.
    The current APAR provides the .pdb for
    Ws60ProcessManagement.dll, which WebSphere Application Server
    uses to launch and monitor Microsoft Windows processes. In
    particular, that DLL is used when WebSphere Application Server
    is started up or shut down, either from the command line via
    startServer or startNode or through the console via its start,
    restart, or stop operations.
    If a problem occurs in these areas, having this APAR installed
    should help IBM help you determine what's going wrong. Since
    it should have no effect upon normal operation, you may wish
    to install this APAR before you need it rather than waiting
    for a problem to arise.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Provide Ws60ProcessManagement.pdb, to improve IBM's ability to
    debug Ws60ProcessManagement.dll.
    
    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
    Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
