 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
BBOCCINS - Generated instructions from customization dialog for
Network Deployment specify that BBOMCFGU requires WSADMIN id
only.  However, the job needs to be run with a superuser id -
UID=0 in order to run successfully.
Base App server instructions are correct in this area.

The following error might be present if superuser id is not
used:
Could not create directory /<WASRoot>/.../, RC=0 RSN=6F  mkdir
/<WASRoot>/.../  775
Local fix
Run BBOMCFGU with a superuser id - UID=0
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V5.0 for z/OS                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Superuser ID must be used when running  *
*                      the BBOMCFGU job for Deployment Manager *
*                      configuration.                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The instructions for the "Configure Deployment Manager node"
option incorrectly instruct the use of "WSADMIN" as the User
ID for the BBOMCFGU job, when it should instead list the
superuser User ID "UID=0".
Problem conclusion
Changes to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
Customization Dialog will be made available.

The change is to Customization Dialog file BBOCCINS, which will
read as follows:

+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+

+-----------+                                                  |
| Done:     | This job configures the runtime HFS to include   |
|           | the directory for UDDIReg.                       |
|           |                                                  |
| By:       | Upon completion, examine the job output. Success |
|           | is indicated with a RC=0 in the job output.      |
