Error description

  • WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and V7 on Microsoft Windows
    operating systems
    A start_server.bat script generated from the startserver.bat
    -script command can be run only from the drive where the
    profile resides.
    
    When the start_server.bat script is generated, the path provided
    is the path from which startserver.bat is being run. For
    example C:\Program
    Files\IBM\WebSphere\Appserver\profiles\profile_name\bin. When
    the generated script is run from another drive, no provision is
    made
    

Local fix

  • The only workaround is to edit the generated script to add a
    drive change as required by Windows
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V6.1 and V7.0                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On Microsoft Windows, the script        *
    *                      generated by running startServer.bat    *
    *                      <server-name> with -script option       *
    *                      fails to start the server if it is      *
    *                      run from a drive other than the one     *
    *                      where WebShpere Application Server is   *
    *                      installed.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Since the full path to setupCmdLine.bat is not specified in
    the script generated by running startServer.bat with -script
    option, the script fails to start the server if it is run from
    a drive where WebSphere Application Server is not installed.
    This is because on Microsoft Windows the drive switch must
    occur before directory change.
    

Problem conclusion

  • By specifying the full path to setupCmdLine.bat in the
    generated script, the script can successfully start the
    specified server, even if it is run from a drive where
    WebSphere Application Server is not installed. This code
    change only affects the scripts that are newly generated after
    the fix is applied, and not the scripts that were previously
    generated by running startServer.bat with -script option.
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 6.1.0.39 and 7.0.0.19. Please refer to the
