Error description

• managesdk uses an admin task to change node and server SDK
  settings.  When the admin task throws an exception, managesdk
  makes  an erroneous assumption that the exception is due to a
  problem connecting to a deployment manager and issues the
  following two messages:
  
  CWSDK1018I: Profile AppSrv01 could not be enabled to use SDK
  1.7_32.
  CWSDK1002I: The requested managesdk task failed. See previous
  messages.

  The managesdk command uses an admin task to change the SDK
  setting at the node level.  If this admin task throws an
  AdminException because it encounters a problem, the managesdk
  command issues the following two erroneous messages:
  CWSDK1018I: Profile AppSrv01 could not be enabled to use SDK
  1.7_32.
  CWSDK1002I: The requested managesdk task failed. See previous
  messages.
  

Problem conclusion

• With this fix, managesdk will stop issuing these messages and
  instead surface the message that is issued by the admin task at
  the time of the exception.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
