PM36303: PROBLEMS ACCESSING THE WLM FILES UNDER Z/OSMF AFTER MOVING TO LEVEL 7.0.0.15 11/05/11 PTF PECHANGE

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Users are unable to access the WLM data files of z/OSMF

The problem is that the users id is being used to access the
files. The expectation is that the servid would be used based on
the sychToOSThread setting.

Local fix

To workaround the problem, use one of the following options:
1. Set the user uid to 0 so they have full permissions
2. Set the WLM file permissions to 775
3. Connect the user to the group that owns the files

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server version    *
*                  7.0.0.13 - 7.0.0.17 users of z/OS           *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A request to a context root, intended   *
*                      to serve a welcome file, is returned    *
*                      with a 404 status.                      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When a z/OS application server is configured with the
syncToOSThread setting enabled and the deployed application is
secure, a user who logs in and requests the context root is
receiving a 404 FileNotFound exception.  It is because the
server's resources are not accessed correctly under the user id.

If the welcome file resource is explicitly included in the
request, a good response is returned.

Problem conclusion

The WebContainer code was modified to access the resource
correctly after the user logs in.

APAR PM36303 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.19 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
