APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When eXtreme Scale is installed on top of WebSphere
  Application Server V7, versionInfo.sh can report the WebSphere
  Application Server install as being 32 bit even though it is a
  64 bit install.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM eXtreme Scale who install on   *
  *                  top of IBM WebSphere Application Server V7  *
  *                  on Linux and Unix operating systems.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server V7         *
  *                      install is reported as 32 bit when it   *
  *                      should be reported as 64 bit.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  32 bit eXtreme Scale libraries were removed from the install so
  that when running on WebSphere Application Server V7,
  versionInfo.sh does not report the install as 32 bit.
  WebSphere Application Server V8 and later use a different
  mechanism to determine whether an install is 32 bit or 64 bit
  based off of the WASSDK level and does not have this problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• An interim fix is available for this APAR upon request.
