| Error description
WAS 3.5 Silent Install script for Solaris produces a coredump if
no plug-in is selected, the number of arguments is fewer than
expected, causing coredump. Which should be OK to do so. Local fix
The script below has two fixes:
.
.
.
1. Quote the $DOC_ROOT argument to adminpost
.
.
The problem occurs because without selecting to install a
plug-in, the
.
.
shell variable DOC_ROOT does not get set in the script.
Subsequently
.
.
after installing WAS files on the system, the installation
script
.
.
invokes the post-processing program
${IMAGE_DIR}/post/adminpost which
.
.
modifies, among other things, the installed admin.config file.
.
.
.
Unfortunately, one of the arguments to this program is the
unset
.
.
$DOC_ROOT variable, therefore the number of arguments to the
program is
.
.
fewer than what it is expecting and this results in the
program dumping core before completing its tasks.
.
.
.
For now, a work-around for the problem is to make a writeable
copy of
.
.
WebSphereInstallSUN.sh. In it modify the arguments to
adminpost by
.
.
quoting the DOC_ROOT argument (i.e., replace ${DOC_ROOT} by
.
.
.
"${DOC_ROOT}" as the argument to adminpost). Then use the the
modified
.
.
installation script to install WebSphere. I'm glad that this
workaround
.
.
worked for you and we'll follow-up with trying to get a fix to
the
.
.
original script.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
2. The OLT debugger seems to be installed be default -- Also
the code
.
.
that does it is broken therefore it really does not install
it.
.
.
I think that the code should look like
.
.
.
sh ../sun/olt/dbgsetup ../sun/olt/idebug.pkg
.
.
.
I use the sh program since the dbgsetup script is not
executable
.
.
on the CD. Also, the path for the idebug.pkg package needs to
be specified since it is not
.
.
in the directory from where the installation script is
launched.

if any, or if a full install refresh is produced.
The work around is to set the DOC_ROOT environment varible
from the command line before running the install to some
arbitrary value or specify a plugin in the response file. Problem conclusionTemporary fix
