PK82652: V6.1 DMGR INSTALLING RAR FILE VIA ADMINSTRATIVE CONSOLE TO V6.0.2 NODE FAILS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The fix is to address 6.1 console installing a rar
  on a 6.0.2 node.
  ..
  The fix will take care of 2 things:
  ..
  1. Change the behavior of the 6.1 DMGR  to where
     installation of rar files will expand them to
     the outer directory as it did in previous versions
  2. If a new rar file is installed to 6.0.2, it will
     backup the existing rar install if it is expanded.
     The updated rar install will expand just the
     outer level. Remove the backup if extraction is
     successful.

  ****************************************************************
  The V7.0 resource adapter install has added capability to
  delete the temporary copy of a resource adapter downloaded to
  a node after an install. However, this new capability is not
  supported in a V6.0.1 node causing a resource adapter to be
  installed or updated in an expanded format. The difference in
  expansion between the previously install and the update
  results in the following exception:
  
    ConfigServiceException javax.management.MBeanException
     com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException:
  ADMN0029E: An error occurred while extracting archive
     /testcase/toyRA.rar. The exception is
  com.ibm.etools.j2ee.commonarchivecore.exception.SaveFailureExcep
  tion: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified not to send the request to delete the
  temporary copy of a resource adapter to a V6.0.1 node, and the
  installed or updated resource adapter is always in a
  non-expanded format.
  
  The fix for this problem spans two releases, V7.0 and V6.0.1
  This APAR covers the fix in a V7.0 deployment manager. If a
  resource adapter is installed on a V6.0.1 node through a V7.0
  console before this fix is applied, the installed resource
  adapter is in an expanded format. An update to the same
  resource adapter after this fix is applied will fail. Customer
  has option to either manually remove the installed resource
  adapter in a V6.0.1 node or apply PK73157 fix to a V6.0.1 node.
  
  APAR PK82652 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
