Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The clearClassCache.bat script may      *
  *                      fail to log results when executed in    *
  *                      European locales.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  By default, the clearClassCache.bat script logs results to a
  file whose name it composes from the current system date
  and time. The script will fail and emit the following
  unexpected message whenever it does not create a valid log
  file name.
  The system cannot find the path specified.
  This problem may occur when running the script in locales
  where system date and time collected by the script has an
  unexpected format. Subsequently, the script wrongly parses
  the information into an invalid log file name and the script
  fails.
  The problem is resolved by modifying the script to normalize
  the format of the date information, collected over all
  locales, before creating the log file name.
  

Problem conclusion

• Apply APAR PI58498 to enable clearClassCache.bat to log
  results when executed in all locales.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.6.  Please refer to the
