APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Machine OS this is occuring on is AIX 5.1 ML04. Cust does not
have any of the X11 filesets installed. WebSphere current level
is 5.0. Using silent install for fixpack 2 fails immediately and
returns nothing. No output of any kind. The silentinstall's
class files being used is dependent of the X11.base.rte to be
present before the installer will function.
Local fix
Currently the only work around was to install the X11.base.rte
fileset.
Cust installed the following X11 filesets :
X11.base.rte 05.01.0000.0035 1 N B en_US AIXwindows Runtime
Environment
X11.loc.en_US.base.rte 05.01.0000.0015 1 N U en_US AIXwindows
Locale Configuration - U.S. English
X11.msg.en_US.apps.aixterm 5.1.0.0
X11.msg.en_US.apps.rte 5.1.0.0
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users installing WebSphere Application *
* Server version 5.0 and 5.1 fixpacks, ifixes *
* and cumulative fixpacks silently on AIX *
* without the X11 libraries installed. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the user attempts to use the *
* Update Installer silently, the program *
* will exit without any feedback. It *
* just returns to the command prompt *
* without an install occurring. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The issue was a result of panels in the Update Installer
initializing graphics fields outside of the panels
initialization function. If no X11 library is available
in the target system, the panel initialization fails with
a fatal exception.
Problem conclusion
The initialization of the graphics fields now occur in the
initialization function of the panel and thus will not be
invoked in silent install mode.
