Abstract: Lookup name for the linked context was trancated in WebSphere 
          naming over LDAP using for interoperating with WebSphere Z/OS.

Description/symptom of problem: 

	  The last charactor of a lookup name for the linked context was 
	  trancated in WebSphere naming over LDAP using for interoperating 
          with WebSphere Z/OS, which resulted in 
	  javax.naming.NameNotFoundException.

Directions to apply efix:

1) Create temporary "efix" directory to store the jar file:
             AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/efix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\efix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as 
   they appear:

   java -jar PQ65589_eFix.jar

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not 
   remove any files created and stored in the 
   <WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix> directories.  These files are 
   required if an efix is to be removed.


Directions to remove an efix:

NOTE:  EFIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE 
       AN EFIX UNLESS ALL EFIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  
       YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED EFIX.

Example:  If your system has efix1, efix2, and efix3 applied in that order and 
          efix2 is to be removed, efix3 must be removed first, efix2 removed, 
          and efix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the efix location 
   (<WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix#>).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar PQ65589_eFix_backup.jar

4) Restart WebSphere



Directions to re-apply an efix:

Follow the instructions for applying an efix.  If the backup files still exist 
(from the previous efix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.  
Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.
