PQ79646: NO WAY TO SET LIBPATH VARIABLE IN THE ADMIN CONSOLE APPLICATION.

 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Currently, there is no way to add entries to the LIBPATH
environment variable from the admin console application.  At
server startup, the LIBPATH specified in the admin console is
overwritten by the contents of the server_region_libpath and
control_region_libpath environment variables.
This poses problems for customers who need to load DLLs in their
server but in situations where you cannot use the shared
library functions, such as loading a DLL from another DLL.
Local fix
Manually update the variables.xml for the server to add the
path to the DLL required to the server_region_libpath entry.
The change should be made to append the new path to the path'
'WAS_SERVER_ONLY_server_region_libpath' entry in the node
level variables.xml.  You should only add your entry to this
variable and not remove any existing entries.  Removal of
existing entries will cause problems within the server.
After updating the variables.xml, you must run the c2n script
in order for the changes to be synchronized within the node.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Administrative Console does not     *
*                      support the ability to append to the    *
*                      was.env variable: server_region_libpath *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Support was added to take the LIBPATH JVM Enironment Variable
and append it to the server_region_libpath.
Problem conclusion
Code was changed to ensure the server_region_libpath was
settable using the Administrative Console, by use of the LIBPATH
server environment variable.  Whatever value is set is appened
to server_region_libpath.
