PQ58418: NO EXTENDED BINDING INFORMATION FOR EAR FILES CAUSES THE WSCP "ENTERAPP INSTALL" COMMAND'S "-RUNASROLES" NOT TO FUNCTION.

 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
If there is no extended binding information for a particular ea
file (this is the ibm-application-bnd.xmi file in the META-INF
directory of the file) then the WSCP "EnterpriseApplication
install" command's  "-runasroles" option does not function
correctly.  It will not find the user-role mapping established
in the same EnterpriseApplication install command via the
"-userroles" option -- it then reports an error to the effect
that the rolename specified cannot be found in the application.
.
The install command uses the SecurityRoleAssignment command to
implement the options that relate to security roles.   This
e-fix changes the SecurityRoleAssigment function for
"runasroles" so that new user-role mappings are respected durin
install.
Local fix
Functionality works if performed through the AdminConsole, but
not through wscp command line.
