APAR status Closed as fixed if next. Error description After applying W502000 level of WebSphere, customer encountered some problems when invoking applyPTF.sh - PostInstaller. W502000.log shows the following: . Create Link from /data/WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/bin/wsdeploy.sh TO /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V5R0M0/bin/wsdeploy.sh ln: FSUM6245 link to target "/data/WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/bin/wsdeploy.sh" failed: EDC5111I Permission denied. Warning: Failed to create symbolic link from /data/WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/bin/wsdeploy.sh to /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V5R0M0/bin/ws . The customer was able to fix the problem that caused these warning, but when invoking the applyPTF.sh again, the following shows: . No post install service pending, no action taken. Tue Nov 25 . The applyPTF.sh will be redesigned so it does NOT mark PostInstall action complete when there were Warnings allowing for easier recovery.Local fix Contact L2 support if you need to recover from any warnings/errors you encountered during applyPTF.sh run.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The post installer marks the system * * updates complete when there are * * warnings. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The post installer marks the system updates complete when there are warnings. This is by design, however some "warnings" should really have been reported as "errors". Whether something is reported as an "error" or "warning" is up to the developer that writes the post installer script, not the post installer framework.Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments The post installer in a future release (Multi-Product PTF Post Installer) will be more stringent to what is considered an "error" versus what is a "warning". This is because post install actions will be completed by existing core ANT tasks that will automatically throw exceptions (error) when they fail. This APAR is being closed FIN with concurrence from the submitting customer. A solution to this problem will be delivered in a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS release within the next 18 months.
