The WebSphere Application Server installer is attempting
to obtain the value of the $HOME environment variable during the
installation. This variable normally stores the directory path of the
current login session on a Unix® platform. If the installation is
performed using Tivoli, there is no current login session; therefore, the
$HOME environment variable is not set.
To resolve this problem, create a $HOME environment variable and set the
value before starting the Application Server installation.
To determine the current value of the $HOME environment variable, issue
the following command at a prompt:
$ echo $HOME
/home/bob
$
If the $HOME variable has no value, you will see an empty line, or a
message similar to:
"HOME: Undefined variable".
The commands required to define the variable and give it a value are
dependent upon the interpreter being used. For the Korn shell, use the
following:
$ echo $HOME
$ export HOME="/home/bob"
$ echo $HOME
/home/bob
$
