JRun 4 Updater 6: Hot fix for user transactions not working when used with clustered JRun servers

Issue

This TechNote provides a hot fix for the following JRun defect:

61099 - JRun user transactions do not work properly with the clustered JRun server. User transactions work fine if only one server in the cluster is running.

Note: This hot fix is only for JRun 4 Updater 6. Anyone using a lower version should upgrade to Updater 6 before applying the patch.

Solution

Note: Macromedia strongly recommends installing and testing hot fixes in your test/staging environment prior to deployment on live production systems.

Follow the instructions below to install the hot fix:

Download the hot fix JAR file (15K).
Copy the JAR file into the servers\lib directory (or "servers/lib" on Unix and Linux).
This hot fix is compatible with JRun4 Updater 6 (build 106363) and greater. You can verify your build number by one of the following options:
- Open the JRun Management Console. Select the Settings, then Version links to display the build number.
