PQ52695: SILENT INSTALLATION WHERE THERE WAS AN INVALID LOG FILE SPECFIEDAND THE INSTALLATION PROCESS EXITED WITHOUT ANY ERRORS.

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
WAS AE 4.0.1
We encountered an issue during a silent installation
       (plugin-cfg.xml) where there was an invalid log file
       specified and the installation process exited without any
       indication of error.  The script should have detected the
       fact that the log file directory path was not valid and
       either issued an error message or by default created the
       directory or both.

The log directory cannot be changed during a silent install.
The log directory is hardcoded in the Java code.  The section
the user is modifying is in the section of the response file
labeled
# DO NOT EDIT THE FOLLOWING
# Program Information

However, the user thinks an exception or error message of some
sort should be output.
