PH49986: CICS created symlinks for Liberty do not support &SYSNAME used in sysplex shared filesystems.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a filesystem is shared across a SYSPLEX, a root level
  symlink can be created ie
  /product has a SYMLINK: product -> &SYSNAME/product
  
  This appends the LPAR SYSNAME to the path.
  
  The SYMLINKS created by CICS for Liberty (wlp.server.config and
  wlp.server.logs) do not support &SYSNAME.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Symlinks created for Liberty by CICS    *
  *                      may be incorrect when using a shared    *
  *                      HFS/zFS filesystem in a SYSPLEX.        *
  ****************************************************************
  When CICS Liberty is installed in a shared filesystem across a
  SYSPLEX, where a root level SYMLINK is defined using &SYSNAME,
  the Liberty symlinks are not created correctly. They fail to
  pick up the &SYSNAME defined by the customer.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS code changed to correct the symlink created for a shared
  filesystem in a SYSPLEX.
