troubleshooting:
On the DeploymentManager (dmgr)
com.ibm.ws.management.status.*=all:
com.ibm.ws.management.wlm.*=all:
com.ibm.ws.console.app*=all
.
On nodeagent as
com.ibm.ws.management.status.*=all

On appserver as
com.ibm.ws.management.status.*=all:Runtime=all

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All z/OS WebSphere Application Server       *
*                  Network Deployment customers who change     *
*                  the autoRestart property to true and do     *
*                  stopImmediate on the server.                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Running stopImmediate for a server on   *
*                      z/OS with autoRestart set to true       *
*                      will restart the server.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The node agent will restart the server after stopImmediate is
run on z/OS when autoRestart is set to true because the PID
file is not removed.

Problem conclusion

Remove the PID file when stopImmediate is run on a server and
the cell level custom property
com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid is set to true
on z/OS. This happens automatically on distributed platforms
but not on z/OS. This prevents the node agent from restarting
the server.

APAR PM05723 requires changes to documentation.

NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our
Web site, so the changes might have been made before you
read this text. To access the latest on-line
documentation, go to the product library page at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library

The following changes to the WebSphere Application Server
Version 6.1 Information Center will be made available in
June, 2010.

The following description of the
com.ibm.websphere.process.teminator.deletepid custom
property will be added to the "Cell custom properties"
topic:

com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid

By default, the autoRestart attribute for the server
monitoring policy is set to false because the Automatic
Restart Management (ARM) is typically used to manage
automatic restarts of the application servers. The
autoRestart attribute for the server monitoring policy
is defined in the server.xml file.

If you do not want to use ARM to manage your server
automatic restarts, and you changed the setting for the
autoRestart attribute to true, you must also add the
com.ibm.websphere.process.teminator.deletepid cell custom
property to your cell configuration settings and set
this property to true. If you only change the setting on the
autoRestart attribute, the server keeps restarting in
response to a stopImmediate command.

Property    com.ibm.websphere.process.terminator.deletepid
Data type   Boolean
Default     False

APAR PM05723 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.33 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1.
