PQ55897: XMLCONFIG SHOULD RECOGNIZE INSTALLED EAR AND NOT FAIL WHILE TRYING TO WRITE TO A READ ONLY DIRECTORY.

 A fix is available

System Management Component Cumulative Fix for 4.0.2/4.0.3/4.0.4 /4.0.5



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
.
XMLimport does not recognize that an ear file is already
expanded in the proper directory when installing an enterprise
application by doing an import. If the dir. has only read
authority then this xmlconfig -import fails since it must have
write authority at this point.
Security restraints cause many companies to not allow programs
to have this write authority.
Local fix
.
Pointing the enterprise app install to a scratch area with write
authority and then expanding the ear in the proper place
manually and deleting
the scratch area will allow this to work
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of        *
*                 application install on 4.0                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The application install process in 4.0  *
*                      always extracts the ear file on one     *
*                      machine.  An option of not doing this   *
*                      is requested, since the disk may be     *
*                      read only (R/O).                        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
App Install should not always write to disk.
Problem conclusion
Introduce a new option in admin.config that would optionally
suppress ear extraction as a part of install.
