APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If a problem occurs during APPLY of a Java PTF, an error message
    may be written to the SMPE APPLY log STDERR stream, however the
    APPLY Step will succeed with a return code of 0.
    
    The script does not correctly handle the exit code from the
    underlying shell commands. Some example output follows:
    
    ** cd command failure: cd to $SMP_Directory/..
    ** pax command failure: pax ended with status 1
    Exiting script with status 0
    

Local fix

  • Check the APPLY log and correct any error conditions. Rerun the
    APPLY.
