Abstract:  Product validation fails when iFix is applied with FeatureManager/FeatureUtility

Description/symptom of problem:  
PH41986 resolves the following problems:


        When the iFix is applied, the installation directory was not getting set properly which caused the error for retrieving the checksums of the iFix jar files. 
	




Directions to apply fix:  
        1. Open a console and direct it to the location of your iFix jar
        2. Run the command "java -jar 21009-wlp-archive-IFPH41986.jar". The following launch options
        are available for the jar:

        --installLocation [LibertyRootDir] by default the jar will look for a "wlp" directory
        in its current location. If your WebSphere Liberty install
        location is different to "wlp" and/or is not in the same
        directory as the jar then you can use this option to change
        where the jar will patch. [LibertyRootDir] can either be
        relative to the location of the jar or an absolute file path.

        --suppressInfo hides all messages other than confirming the
        patch has completed or error messages.

        3. Stop your WebSphere Liberty server(s).
        4. When you next start your WebSphere Liberty server(s), the fix will become active in your runtime.





Directions to remove fix:  
        1. Stop your WebSphere Liberty server(s).
        2. You will need to delete the following files (file locations are
        relative to your WebSphere Liberty install root):

         - lib/com.ibm.ws.install_1.0.56.cl210920211111-1950.jar
         - lib/com.ibm.ws.install.featureUtility_1.0.56.cl210920211111-1950.jar
         - lib/fixes/21009-wlp-archive-IFPH41986_21.0.0009.20211112_0137.xml
         - lib/fixes/21009-wlp-archive-IFPH41986_21.0.0009.20211112_0137.lpmf

        3. When you next start your WebSphere Liberty server(s), the fix will become inactive in your runtime.
