use <WAS_HOME>/bin/redeployFileTransfer.jacl

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V6.1.0 for z/OS                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The script redeployFileTransfer.jacl    *
*                      causes errors on z/OS.                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The script WAS_HOME/bin/redeployFileTransfer.jacl is not
necessary and does not work on a z/OS system. This script
should not have been included in the WebSphere Application
Server install image for z/OS. An attempt to run the script
may result in an error like the following:

Operation FAILED!
com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException:
com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentExc
eption: AppDeploymentException: []
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.OpenFa
ilureException:
IWAE0006E Archive is not a valid EAR File because the
deployment descriptor can not be found (case sensitive):
META-INF/application.xml
WASX7341W: No "save" was performed before the interactive
scripting
session exited; configuration changes will not be saved.

This script is intended only for non-z/OS systems, which have
two versions of the filetransfer application, authenticating
and non-authenticating (for backwards compatibility). On these
platforms, this script is used to switch between the two
versions.

On z/OS, however, there is only one version of the
filetransfer application, which can handle both authenticated
and unauthenticated requests (depending on whether global
administrative security is enabled). When the
redeployFileTransfer.jacl script is run on z/OS, it attempts
to switch to or from a version of the filetransfer ear that
does not exist, and results in an error.

Problem conclusion

For z/OS only, the redeployFileTransfer.jacl script has been
modified to simply print an error message and exit.

APAR PM18152 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.35 of WebSphere
Application Server V6.1
