PK87455: CONTEXT ROOT IS RESET TO "/" WHEN -CONTEXTROOT IS NOT SET IN THE ADMINAPP.UPDATE() COMMAND.

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• Web archive (WAR) module install or update fails in the
  adminstrative console and also in wsadminJACL, if the context
  root is not passed. JYTHON allows an update to the war module
  and replacing the existing context root with "/".
  
  For example :
  Jacl Working case :
  
  AdminApp.update('DefaultApp', 'app', '-contents ' +
  'DefaultApp.war' + ' -operation update -contextroot /default')
  
  Jacl non working case :
  
  AdminApp.update('DefaultApp', 'app', '-contents ' +
  'DefaultApp.war' + ' -operation update')
  
  In the non working case, it resets the context root to "/" .
  

Local fix

• Use jacl or the administrative console
