PQ75371: updateInstaller reports "Fix pack uninstallation completed successfully" when it has not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description If the updateInstaller encounters a failure during an uninstallation, it reports the error in log files and eventually quits the process. However, just before quitting, it prints "Fix pack uninstallation completed successfully." to stdout. This is misleading because the intended operation actually did not complete successfully.Local fix No workaround; users need to manually check the log files to determine if there was a problem. Note that this problem may not necessarily apply to Fix Packs (as opposed to interim fixes or cumulatives), nor does it necessarily apply to uninstalls (as opposed to installs). It just happens that this was the scenario which I recreated.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Customers who use older versions of * * UpdateInstaller, for example, the one * * shipped with WebSphere Application Server * * Fix Pack 1. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Success is reported in the console for * * Fix Pack when it is installed in the * * silent mode even if there were errors * * recorded. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This fix informs the user to check the appropriate log files to make sure there was no error recorded.Problem conclusion The user should no longer be misled by false success messages.Temporary fix Comments
