Error description
When a customer configures a cell, and then installs Java7 but does NOT change the WAS level, then the postinstaller does not resynchronize the symlinks in WAS_HOME. managesdk.sh to change to Java7 fails with ADML3000E: The tool is unable to locate the systemlaunch.properties file: java.io.IOException: Cannot locate systemlaunch.properties at path: /WAS_HOME/AppServer/properties/systemlaunch/base/null.systemlaun ch.properties
Local fix
run /WAS_HOME/bin/zUpdateSymlinks.sh to resynchronize the symlinks in WAS_HOME
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 and V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Java 7 symlinks not updated when * * installing it after a config root has * * been created * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a user configures a server on z/OS and then decides afterwards to install and use Java 7, some metadata required to detect that Java 7 has been installed is not correct. This can lead to symlinks not being properly updated and not being able to be used.
Problem conclusion
A code change was added to fix some of the metadata accordingly. APAR PM85325 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.0 of WebSphere Application Server V8.5 and V8.0 Another APAR will be created to fix an additional scenario which is required to have Java 7 detected properly. This APAR will be updated with the new APAR once it is created. APAR PM92794 has been created to fix the additional scenario listed above. That APAR is scheduled to be included into fix packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere Application Server V8.0 and V8.5.
