Problem(Abstract) |
If you have previously applied a temporary fix by placing
a file or files in the $WAS_HOME/classes directory, you must remove these
files after installing the Fix Pack containing this fix. If you do not
remove the temporary fix files, the IBM WebSphere Application Server might
not start after applying the Fix Pack. One such known temporary fix will
result in a NoClassDefFound on etools/emf/RefBaseObject error. |
|
|
|
Cause |
The classes directory will override the corrected class
file delivered with the Fix Pack. The installer will remove PQ fixes that
have been installed and registered as PQ fixes that have been applied. The
installer will not remove temporary fixes from the classes directory. |
|
|
Resolving the
problem |
Verify that the temporary fix has been rolled into the new
Fix Pack by reviewing the defects corrected by the Fix Pack. If found in
the list of defects corrected, then delete the temporary fix from the
$WAS_HOME/classes directory. Then apply the Fix Pack.
Another way to avoid this situation is to get the published fix from the
support
site, install the published fix and then remove the temporary fix. Now
the installer will see this fix and remove it before applying the Fix
Pack. |
