Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All z/OS users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V6.1 * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The postinstaller fails to apply * * service because it cannot write into * * directories without group write * * permission enabled. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In service levels before 6.1.33, the postinstaller created new directories without group write access.
Problem conclusion
This solution consists of a two-part fix. Part 1: Fix existing directories Before starting each WebSphere Application Server node, run the fixAllGroupPerms.sh script from the WebSphere Application Server product file system, specifying the node's WAS_HOME directory. This script must be run by a privileged user id with enough authority to update the group permissions because it will update all files and directories in the configuration root to have group write access enabled. For example: cd /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V6R1/bin ./fixAllGroupPerms.sh /wasv61config/bbocell/bbonode/AppServer Part 2: Verifying permissions On every postinstaller run, the postinstaller will look for outstanding files and directories without group permission enabled. If any such files or directories are found, the postinstaller will generate a script in <WAS_HOME>/bin/fixGroupPerms.sh that should be run by a user with sufficient authority to update the group permissions. APAR PM19966 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.33 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
