Solution:

1. Check the "stderr" and "stdout" file path to ensure they are correct and exist.

2. Make sure it has fully qualified path <WAS-Root>/.../stdout.txt

SunSolaris Ex. /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/logs/DeafultServer_stdout.txt

Please note that missing a "/" in front of "opt" may cause the error to occur.

3. Make sure the user has the permission of Create/Read/Write to <WAS-Root>/.../stdout.txt
