BBOO0469E Unable to Install EAR File
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem

The following message appears in the System Management End User Interface (SMEUI) while trying to install a J2EE application into a J2EE Server in WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS®:

BBON0469E Unable to install EAR file <xxx_resolved.ear> on server <J2EE_SRV>.

The following messages appear in the System Management User Interface message log:

BBON0469E Unable to install EAR file <xxx_resolved.ear> on server <J2EE_SRV>.
BBON1201E EARFileProcessor error while loading ejb <ejb>. Exception is com.ibm.ws390.metadata.archive.J2EEArchiveFileException: Problem loading class "<ejbname>.Profile":<ejbname>.Profile.

Note: The WebSphere Application Server PTFs UQ90051, UQ90052 will introduce a new function called the Direct Deployment Tool also known as 390fy. This tool removes the requirement to use the AAT on the workstation. You can directly deploy the EAR file from WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS via the System Management End User Interface. The assembling functionality formerly done by AAT will be performed by the 390fy which is integrated into the System Management End User Interface.
 
Cause
An error occurs when a J2EE application EAR file developed in WSAD (or third party equivalent) is installed directly into a J2EE server without running it through the WebSphere for z/OS AAT or 390fy tool. The EAR file works on WebSphere Application Server for distributed platforms but the above errors are generated when the System Management End User Interface 390fy tool is used to deploy the EAR onto Websphere Application Server for z/OS.
 
Solution
It is necessary to use the WebSphere for z/OS AAT (Application Assembly Tool) or 390fy tool to prepare an EAR file for deployment to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. These tools translate the WebSphere Application Server for distributed platforms deployment descriptors and add WebSphere Application Server for z/OS specific deployment descriptors. The AAT or 390fy tool can be used to prepare previously packaged ear files.
