Abstract:  PTF 4.0.5 fails to install on a NFS mount on AIX

Description/symptom of problem:  The PTF 4.0.5 installation on AIX attempts to change the
permissions of a script that is packaged with the PTF.  
If the PTF is run from a NFS mount (read only) then the PTF
will fail with the following error:
====================================
Processing virtual script Cleanup_lppchk_errors
Launched  chmod 755 lppchk_cleanup.sh
Cmd ended rc=1
Error 112 -- The return code of 1 is not equal to the expected
return code of 0.
====================================







Directions to apply fix:  
1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:
 				AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
2) Copy jar file to the directory

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar <jar_file_name>

Note: when prompted for the target directory enter the path to unzipped 4.0.5 PTF resides and NOT the WebSphere home directory.

5) Run the PTF installation.

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





Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
 		ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
			 removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the fix location (<target_directory>/fix/<fix#>).

2) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
	java -jar <fix#_backup>.jar







Directions to re-apply fix:  
Follow the instructions for applying a fix.

If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.

Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.







Additional Information:  This Fix must be applied BEFORE installing PTF 4.05.  This Fix will be applied to the PTF jar file and the PTF install script.  When prompted for the target location enter the directory where PTF 4.0.5 is unzipped to.  This directory must be writable.
