Error description

  • Affer applying the 7.0.0.15 fix pack for Network Deployment
    edition to Deployment Manager, manual propagation, using the
    console, fails to remote an IBM HTTP Server webserver
    collocated with an Appserver and defined as Managed by that
    node (Managed Remote WebServer).  The node sync would work but
    the local file copy at the remote node to copy the new
    plugin-cfg.xml to the path defined in IBM HTTP Server
    httpd.conf did not complete. Note that Automatic plugin
    propagation completed both tasks, Sync and Copy, sucessfully
    so the issue is only seen with manual propagation.
    

Local fix

  • Rollback 7.0.0.15 fixpack or copy plugin-cfg.xml to IHS
    manually

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Manual Plugin propagation stops         *
    *                      working with fix pack 7.0.0.15.         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The manual propagation stops working after putting on fix pack
    7.0.0.15.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A new custom property (overrideAutoProp true/false) has been
    introduced to fix the manual propagation.  This needs to be
    set at the JVM for each node.  When set to true with Manual
    propagation, the plugin-cfg.xml will be propagated to both the
    remote node repository and the remote web server location.
    When set to false with manual propagation, the plugin-cfg.xml
    will only propagated to the remote node repository and not the
    web server location itself.
    
    The new property needs to be set to the remote node.  Within
    the Administrative Console, go to the following:
    
    System Administration > Node Agents > Java and Process
    Management / Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine >
    Custom Properties
    
    Once set for the node, you must syncronize the change to the
    node.  Also, this does require a stop and start of the node
    for it to take affect.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.21 & 8.0.0.2 .  Please refer to the Recommended
