 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
On WAS 4.0.2 using XML, WSCP, or Admin Console, deploy an
Enterprise Application.
.
At some point the need to remove the Enterprise Application and
WAS is not removing the subdirectory under /InstalledApps. It
can also be removed by any of three methods (XML, WSCP, Admin
Console) and you receive the same results.
.
This causes problems when they try to update the Application as
there is old information left on their systems.
Local fix
Workaround:
After removing the Enterprise Application, manually delete the
directory for that Enterprise Application under /InstalledApps.

This problem was introduced in 4.0.2 by an internal defect
that improved the handling of symbolic links on UNIX
platforms. However, a side effect, of this fix produces the
error described on Windows platforms.

On those (Windows) systems, the directory structure is not
properly traversed during removal and this results in the
problem described.
Problem conclusion
Changed code in the deleteDirTree() method in the file,
ActiveFileBrowserService.java.  Test fix given to customer
and changed file dropped into CMVC for inclusion in PTF.
Temporary fix
The testfix is posted on the wasdoc0\apars.  Wait for feedback.
