Application failed to expand with ADMA7008E exception
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Application failed to expand in the installedApps folder.
 
Cause
During application deployment and Sync operation, the application will be pushed to the node and then will get expanded in to the installedApps folder. It requires the Java™ temp folder location while expanding the application. java.io.tmpdir system property will be used as a temp location and on Unix , it will be "/tmp" or "var/tmp" folder. In this case , WebSphere® was not able to create /tmp folder in the OS root level and caused the earExpander to fail. Client had a file named tmp in the OS root level and it did not allow WebSphere to create the tmp folder.

The following exception is thrown in the nodeagent SystemOut.log file and trace file.

Resolving the problem
Remove the file named tmp under the OS root level and then deploy the application again.
