Symptom |
Version 5.0.2 Fix Pack 2 installation fails on WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 with the following errors:
Failed to perform extraction.
Exception: WUPD0248E: Fix pack update failure: The processing of fix
pack was50_fp2_<OS>, component config.templates failed. See the log
file /opt/WebSphere/AppServer5/logs/update/*_
was50_fp2_<OS>_config.templates_install.log for processing details.
WUPD0218E: Fix pack installation failure: The component config.templates
failed to install. |

Cause |
WebSphere Application Server is federated, but the WAS_CELL
variable is not updated. WAS_CELL contains the default server
name as if the server was never federated to a cell. After the variable is
changed to the cell name to which this node is federated, the update works
correctly.
This might happen when you uninstall a cumulative fix or fix pack. The
update installer restores the previous setupCmdLine, which might have
pre-federation WAS_HOME and WAS_CELL values.
Another cause for this error is that values at the Node level are
removed. If you delete all the variables at the node level and attempt to
apply the fix pack, the install fails with the failed to prepare
instance data error message. |

Resolving the
problem |
- Verify that the WAS_CELL and WAS_NODE variables are
listed in the setupCmdline.sh file.
- Update the setupCmdline.sh file with the correct
WAS_CELL information. Do NOT use # signs to comment out a line
and put in a new one. REPLACE the incorrect information with the correct
information. The Update Installer does not understand # signs as comments
and will parse those values in that instance.
- If this does not resolve the problem, verify that the following
variable is set to the NODE level:
APP_INSTALL_ROOT
value="install_root/installedApps" |
