Error description

  • From adminconsole go toTroubleshooting ->
    Configuration problems to open validation policy page and
    set
    the policy to " High: Validate extracted, parent, and local
    sibling documents" (by default "Low") and click Apply. Then
    go
    to Operational policies > Custom action > try to edit
    existing
    custom action, it will prompt you to save the changes
    without
    being made any changes. Also, if you try to create new
    custom
    action, after final step you would see below error in the
    adminconsole.
    
    Updates from another session have been saved to the master
    configuration since you started this session. The changes
    you
    made conflict with these updates and cannot be saved. To
    continue, you must discard your changes to reset your
    workspace
    and work from the current, saved version of the master
    configuration.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server WAS ND edition- Virtual              *
    *                  Enterprise/IM Component with the custom     *
    *                  action feature of health policy and setting *
    *                  the level of configuration validation Low.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cannot update custom action under the   *
    *                      health policy since it always shows     *
    *                      conflict with the existing action on    *
    *                      editing.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When the configuration validation (Config validation is on
    Troubleshooting->Configuration problems on WAS administrative
    console) set to a level above Low, which is default, a user will
    not be able to update the existing custom action under the
    health policy (or add new one) since it will always show
    configuration conflict and force the user to discard the
    change.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The level of configuration validation should not affect the
    activity of custom action.  Made a change to fix the problem.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.12.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
    delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    

Temporary fix

  • Do not set the configuration validation level higher than Low.
