4.0.5: WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 Fix Pack 5 (Version 4.0.5)
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
The following apar belongs to WEBSJAVA.EJS.ADMINSVR.
.
Basically if you have an ear file with a bad datasource and
install it through WSCP to a servergroup then the error it
produces:
.
WSCP0136E: An Exception was caught during command processing:
RemoteException oc
curred in server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.RemoteException: Failure to find application bean by
primary key
.
However, it still creates the folders
for the ear in the <WAS_HOME>/installedApps directory.  However
if you install the same bad ear to a single application server
the error explains that problem and it does NOT create the
folders for the ear.  Not if you try this through the console
you cannot get pass the datasource wizard window so that is not
a problem.  Only WSCP install to a server group.
.
The fix/code change should also include if there are problems if
a URL reference is referred to and doesn't exist.
Local fix
Use a console or define the resource in websphere before doing
the install
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users who       *
*                 install ear files using wscp where the ear   *
*                 file has missing required resources.         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When an ear file with missing           *
*                      resources is installed a proper error   *
*                      message was not returned to the wscp    *
*                      caller.  A partial install was done     *
*                      and the system was left in a bad        *
*                      state.                                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Ear files with missing resources can not be installed using
the console.  An informative error is given and the install
stops.  When using wscp an informative message was not
returned and an attempt is made to install the ear file.
Partial directories are created, but the ear file is not
installed correctly.
Problem conclusion
Corrected wscp so that the error is processed properly and
an error giving details of the missing resource is returned
to the caller.
Temporary fix
eFixes for 4.0.2 and 4.0.4 are available for the customer
on wasdoc0.  The PMR was updated to give the location of
the efixes.
