Abstract:  usability fix for ve console pages after applying pi23055

Description/symptom of problem:  
PI24807 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
The security fix provided by PI23055 may cause UI state issues  
in the Service Policy Configuration, Dynamic Cluster Membership 
and Operational Policies Reports charts pages, by preventing    
parts of these pages from saving their state.                   

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
N/A                                                             

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 Users of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
version 7 with the WebSphere Application
Server fix for PI23055 applied.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Dialog boxes created by JavaScript in
VE administrative console pages
disappear on page reload after
applying PI23055.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Due to enhanced security requirements in fix for PI23055, some
pages such as the "Runtime Operations" page in the
administrative console will have issues keeping dialogs such
as the "Add data" dialog preserved as open between page loads.
The dialog can still be opened by clicking on the button again
after a page load, but some application state might be lost.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The affected Virtual Enterprise pages have been updated to      
comply with the new requirements. Note that the fix for this    
APAR may be applied before the fix for PI23055.                 
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in    
fixpack 7.0.0.6. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
