BINDER APAR OA09174 required to install WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs
 Flash (Alert)
 
Abstract
WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® versions 5.0 and greater installations on z/OS V1R5 and older require a PTF for BINDER APAR OA09174 before installing WebSphere Application Server PTFs. Otherwise, various DLL LOAD failures can occur during postinstall processing and WebSphere Application Server bringup.
 
Content
A problem with the z/OS Binder at z/OS 1.5 and below can cause z/OS program fetch to fail when loading certain WebSphere Application Server z/OS modules into memory. This issue will be corrected by z/OS Binder APAR OA09174 (for z/OS 1.3 and up) and OA09214 (for z/OS 1.2).

NOTE: Since this a bind (link-edit) issue, customers must apply the fix for APAR OA09174 / OA09214 to the driving system before running the SMP/E APPLY for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs.

The PTFs which deliver the fix for OA09174 / OA09214 are now available as z/OS Binder PTFs. The specific PTF for your release:
Release 1F0 : UA14165 available 04/10/26 - z/OS 1.2
Release 706 : UA14116 available 04/10/13 - z/OS 1.3 and 1.4
Release 708 : UA14117 available 04/10/13 - z/OS 1.5
Release 709 : UA14118 available 04/10/13 - z/OS 1.6

NOTES

  1. If you have applied or attempted to apply the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs in the table below without this Binder APAR already applied, you must redo the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS apply cleanly from the beginning after the Binder APAR is applied.
  2. If you attempted the apply for these WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs without the Binder APAR already applied, failed during the apply, realized you needed the Binder APAR and applied it, then tried the apply again from where it left off, you may encounter many similar error message:

    IEW2469E 9907 THE ATTRIBUTES OF A REFERENCE TO xxxxx FROM SECTION BBO3ENQS NAME SPACE 1 DO NOT MATCH THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE TARGET

    If this is the scenario that occurred, you can resolve the problem by renaming the members in SMPLTS and let them be recreated after you've applied the Binder APAR and attempt the apply of the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs again.
  3. The Binder APAR must also be present on the system where the WebSphere Application Server(s) will be running.
