Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server v8.5 who have enabled Auditing of    *
  *                  Administrative Repository Saves.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The selection of the                    *
  *                      ADMIN_REPOSITORY_SAVE auditable event   *
  *                      displays truncated.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  No functional issue is associated with      *
  *                  the truncation of the                       *
  *                  ADMIN_REPOSITORY_SAVE event type in the     *
  *                  UI.                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  In the Administrative Console or via
  wsadmin, if a user selects to audit
  ADMIN_REPOSITORY_SAVE events, and
  then attempts to display all the
  events enabled for auditing, they
  will see OSITORY_SAVE being
  displayed.  There is no loss of audit
  functionality, as the correct event
  type is stored in the audit.xml file.
  This is a display-only issue.
  

Problem conclusion

• The underlying command task used to display the audit filters
  has been updated to properly display, and not truncate, the
  ADMIN_REPOSITOR_SAVE event type.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
