Symbolic link settings cause job BBOIVP in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS fail
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Files created as a symbolic links to a file within the HFS are not found when running job BBOIVP. They should be created as symbolic links to an object outside of the HFS.
 
 
Solution
The attributes field in Unix System Services (USS) displays what type of link is created. If the field is set to 0 this indicates it is a symbolic link to a file or directory. If it is set to 1 it indicates that it is an external link to an object outside of the HFS. In this particular case, the field contained a 0 which was incorrect.
