IJ34096: GENCOPY MAY COPY RPMS FROM WRONG SOURCE TO TARGET

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using gencopy to copy RPMs from different
  subdirectories some of them may get missed out.
  
  E.g. when the SOURCE contains
  
  ./SOURCE/RPMS/noarch/bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.
  rpm
  ./SOURCE/RPMS/ppc/bash-5.0.18-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
  
  then only bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm will be
  copied to
  
  ./TARGET/RPMS/noarch/bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.
  rpm
  
  but it will not copy bash-5.0.18-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm to
  
  ./TARGET/RPMS/ppc/bash-5.0.18-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
  

Local fix

• Manually copy the missing RPMs.
  

Problem summary

• When using gencopy to copy RPMs from different subdirectories
  some of them may get missed out.
  E.g. When the SOURCE contains
  ./SOURCE/RPMS/noarch/bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm
  ./SOURCE/RPMS/ppc/bash-5.0.18-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
  
  Then only bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm will be
  copied to
  ./TARGET/RPMS/noarch/bash-completion-2.9-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm
  but it will not copy bash-5.0.18-1.aix6.1.noarch.rpm to the
  TARGET directory
  

Problem conclusion

• The pattern matching code that is used to check the RPM files
  to be copied does not match the unique filenames. The solution
  is to search with the exact filename
