Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The Administrative Console always responds slowly whenever a
user selects certain panels such as node screen, Log and Trace
screen, which takes the users 3-5 minutes to come back.

We see the following queryNames is reading across a Soap
Connection which is not completing in a timely manner per our
analysis in some javacores:

------------------

In the exception stack in the systemOut file, the
setupCollectionForm is getting a string for queryNames from
isServerMbeanRegisterd.

The string is built from the following:
StringBuffer name = new
StringBuffer("WebSphere:type=Server,name
=");
name.append(serverName);
name.append(",node=");
name.append(nodeName);
name.append(",process=");
name.append(serverName);
name.append(",*");
return name.toString();

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server using the administrative console to  *
*                  administer Nodes or Logs and Trace.         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In large topologies, loading the        *
*                      Nodes panel or the Logs and Trace       *
*                      panels can be slow.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Both these panels were getting the status of the nodes and
servers in two different ways before loading the pages.

Problem conclusion

Each panel now only uses one mechanism to retrieve the status
of nodes and servers.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6, and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the
