  • The wsdeploy command will always return errorlevel 0 regardless
    of success or failure.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All administrators of IBM WebSphere         *
    *                  Application Server using the wsdeploy.bat   *
    *                  command.                                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The wsdeploy.bat command always         *
    *                      returns 0 as a return code.             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack that includes this       *
    *                  APAR.                                       *
    ****************************************************************
    The return code from wsdeploy does not reflect the real status
    of the command and always returns 0.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The java code called by wsdeploy.bat was updated to return a
    non zero return code when an exception occurs.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the
