Resolution

This is a known issue in releases prior to EAP 6.4.0. One of the following may be used to resolve the issue in earlier releases

• Disable the datasource, make desired changes to configuration, restart the application server and re-enable the datasource
• Create datasources using the CLI console

Re-enable succeeds in EAP 6.4.0 and later, however, the log may still record a failure¹
