PQ70194: WHEN INSTALLING IHS FROM WAS V5 CD USING THE IHS INSTALLER THE INSTALLATION OF IHS IS NOT RECORDED IN THE SOLARIS REGISTRY

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
Websphere Application Server V5.0.0
IHS 1.3.26 on Solaris 8
When installing IHS from the WAS V5.0 CD using the IHS installer
 the installation of IHS is not recorded in the Solaris registry
This same method works on AIX so possibly only Solaris platform
 is affected.  Also installing IHS from WAS installer has no
 problems.
Customer installed IBM HTTP Server using the installIHS.java
 or java -cp setup.jar run.  IHS does not leave a record in the
 Solaris registry.  Using the WAS installer and custom install
 for IHS (within WAS installer) will install IHS with the record
 in Solaris Registry of ISWSBIH1A.  Using the IHS installer
 alone, cannot detect whether IHS is installed on the machine or
 not since it leaves no Solaris Registry entry.
The impact is:
 1) Machines with IHS installed thru IHS installer will not have
      any record of IHS installation as per my original defect
 2) Machines that have WAS and IHS, removing WAS will make IHS
      "invisible" to the system as the WAS packages were the
      only pointers to IHS in the packages WSBIHAA and ISWSBIH1A
Customers in the above scenario will have an IHS that can't
 detect through Solaris Registry (as vpd.properties is only used
 when the user installing is non-root).
Local fix Problem summary
This APAR is being closed as Fixed IF Next.  Th
e install bug will be fixed in the next release of IHS
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
