![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description The DDT(390fy) inserts new files in a .ear to create a "resolved" .ear for WAS z/OS. These files application-xdd.xml, MANIFEST.MF, and mangled name files are written in EBCIDC and not ASCII or UTF-8. New code from developer, fixed most of the problems, but the MANIFEST.MF file is still in EBCIDC. This works correctly under Windows NT4 but under USS the files are badly writtne.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Customers running 390fy on USS/390 is * * running into a runtime problem within * * web container init due to MANIFEST.MF * * file being generated in EBCDIC. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Running 390fy under USS/390 currently generates MANIFEST.MF file in EBCDIC. Previous drivers were able to cope with this problem in the ejb runtime as well as web container runtime even though information stored within MANIFEST.MF file such as Class-Path: was being lost. As a result, web container code is failing during the initialize step of the webapps that contain a EBCDIC manifest file.Problem conclusion 390fy processing should always generate all meta-data file including MANIFEST.MF file in ASCII instead of EBCDIC to avoid this runtime error even when run under USS/390. APAR PQ68137 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401406 of WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
