APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Job BBOMCFG2 fails rc=3072 in z/OS 1.5. In this job we issue the
following command and this fails on z/OS 1.5,
.
chmod -R 755 /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/lib
.
This did not fail on z/OS 1.4 because symlinks are not resolved
on 1.4 and prior releases.
.
This behaviour was changed on z/OS 1.5 in order to be "POSIX
compliant". When the same command is run on 1.5 the symlinks get
and the external links get resolved. The exposure of 'chmod -R
external' failure is the side effect of adding the new feature
to chmod.
Local fix
There is a shell script provided by WebSphere development as a
workaround.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Dialog job BBOMCFG2 fails with rc=3072  *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When the BBOMCFG2 job executes, it invokes bbowhfs2.sh.
bbowhfs2.sh issues chmod commands like the following:
   chmod -R 755 /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/lib

This fails on z/OS V1R5 but works on z/OS 1.4 and prior
releases.
Problem conclusion
To correct this, "chmod -R" was changed to "chmod -Rh"
in bbowhfs2.sh.  With this change, the BBOMCFG2 will not fail
in z/OS V1R5 and the RC will be 0.
