  ****************************************************************
  Starting in fixpack 8.5.5.0, the IBM i Web Admin GUI stopped
  including V8.5 Websphere Application Servers in the list it
  constructed of all Websphere Application Servers on the system.
  This was due to a change in fix pack 8.5.5.0 to one of the
  Websphere Application Server jar filess it included in its
  classpath.
  

Problem conclusion

• A configuration action was written to add an additional jar file
  to the classpath variable in the
  <WAS_HOME>/properties/webAdmin.properties file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
  page for delivery information:
