PQ66621: WHEN INSTALLING PTF3 OR PTF4 FOR 4.X WITH THE TMP VARIABLE, THE LOGEVENT.SH CONTINUES TO WANT TO WRITE TO THE CURRENT DIRECTORY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description For install and uninstall and the LogEvent.sh script not using the TMP Environment variable when set. Install.sh and unninstall_ptf_3.sh check for the TMP environment variable and will use this setting. The LogEvent.sh does not seem to be Variable checking as the other two files, which seems to mean th runs in it's own shell when called.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0 Advanced * * and Single Server editions installing a * * Fixpack on any operating system. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The LogEvent.sh (.bat) file that is * * packaged with the 4.0 PTFs does not * * create the LogEvent.std file in * * the correct directory when the TMP * * environment variable is set. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The LogEvent.sh (.bat) file writes the LogEvent.std file to the current directory even if the TMP environment variable is set. This causes problems if the user has a read-only directory where they are running the PTF install from. Also, when users set the TMP variable they expect the log files to be written to the TMP directory and not the current directory.Problem conclusion The LogEvent.sh (.bat) file was modified to prepend the directory specified in the TMP variable when writing to the LogEvent.std file. If the TMP variable is not set then the LogEvent.std file will be written to the current directory.Temporary fix Comments
