PK71216: APPLICATION BINARIES PUSHED TO WEBSERVER CONFIGURATION WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When an application is deployed and mapped to a webserver,
the application binaries will be pushed to that node even if
it's not also mapped to an application server on that node.
This is unnecessary since webservers do not use the application
binaries.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  V6.0.1 for z/OS                             *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is no need to sync an             *
*                      application to nodes that only have a   *
*                      WebServer running that application.     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
During WebSphere Application Server nodeSync, we have code
that will open the ServerIndex.xml file of that node, collect
all applications that are installed on all the servers of that
node and sync those applications.  The problem is that we look
at "all" the servers of that node including WebServers.
WebServers do not run applications as they are only modeled in
the configuration without any runtime. There is no need to
sync applications to those nodes that only have a WebServer
running that application. When we  collect a list of apps to
be sent down to the node, we should skip any processing of
WebServers.

So during nodeSync, this fix does not look at WebServers at all
while collecting the list of applications.  In other words,
during nodeSync when we collect a list of applications to be
sent down to the node, we should skip any processing of
WebServers.

From the fix pack 6.0.2.39 onwards this is controlled by the
following system property through APAR PK86340.
"com.ibm.websphere.management.nodesync.skipWebServerTarget"

Problem conclusion

Source code has been modified to not distribute the
application to the nodes that only have WebServers running
the application.

APAR PK71216 currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.0.2.33 of WebSphere Application Server V6.0.1
for z/OS.
