  This APAR covers multiple issues in the runtime or
  administrative console of the RAS and HPEL components.
  1.HTML entities such as < > and " should not be
  displayed to the user.  These entities appear in an error
  message that is displayed to the user trying to perform a
  clipboard copy in administrative console HPEL logviewer without
  proper user permissions.
  2. Negative values are appearing when setting the file size of
  the runtime tab of the diagnostic trace service. For example,
  go to the "Logging and tracing > server1 > Diagnostic trace
  service > Runtime" tab, select File and set the Maximum file
  size to "3600" and press Ok. Returning to the same screen, the
  value is displayed as -496 MB.  The negative values will
  also be seen when using the wsadmin tool to set the file size
  values of the AdminControl.
  3. The administrative console Log Viewer in HPEL mode does not
  correctly size the table when repopulating the view with a
  result set that contains more entries than the previous result
  set displayed.
  

Problem conclusion

• APAR PM41049 ensures each of the listed issues are addressed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
