PQ84602: WITH W502000, UPDATING SERVER SHORTNAME RESULTED IN TWO SYMBOLICLINKS PER APP SERVER INSTEAD OF A SYMBOLIC LINK REPLACEMENT. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Customer created a cluster using the admin console. The servers were created using an existing app server model and saved. In the HFS they saw links pointing to cellname.nodename.BBOS00x. Then they updated the server shortname for each of the newly created app servers such that the server shortname matched the server name. In the past, this caused the symbolic link ending BBOS00x to be replaced by one ending in the server short name; however they ended up with two links per app server, one cellname.nodename.BBOS00x and one cellname.nodename.servershortname. The existence of the extra symbolic link prevents the successful creation of additional cluster servers (or perhaps even standalone servers). They have to manually delete the cell/node.BBOS000x link in order to successfully create any more cluster servers; otherwise, one can end up with a very corrupted HFS. Another concern is that they see the following message: ADMS0016I: Configuration synchronization failed. This message came out in the zOS system log and the Nodeagent jeslog. They would like to see something stronger than an information message in this circumstance, and secondly, they would like to see a message in the admin console since that is where the work is being done.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When you change an Servers short name * * (On the Administrative Console -> * * Application Server -> <server name> * * -> Short Name) * * The correct symlink is generated * * but the old one remains. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When you change the shortname of your server a new symlink is created, ie: (CELLSHORT.NODESHORT.NEWSERVSHORT) the previously used one remains (CELLSHORT.NODESHORT.OLDSERVSHORT)Problem conclusion The Transformer was modified to clean up the old symlinks correctly. APAR PQ84602 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502004 of WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
