Troubleshooting
Problem
The Installation Verification Utility (IVU) utility, also known as installver, allows users to verify their installation of IBM®WebSphere® Application Server. On some occasions this utility can report errors that look to be serious but can safely be ignored.
Resolving The Problem
When you run the installver command to determine checksums, you may see some errors appear. A number of these errors are not serious and can be ignored when referring to the following packages. These errors are appearing due to properties or configuration files which are changing after updates are applied:
- adapter
- admin.appmgmt
- admin.scripting
- isc.deploy
- os400.misc
- os400.profile.templates
- plugincfg
- prereq.ejbdeploy
- prereq.wccm
- profile.templates
- ptf.config.actions
- prereq.sibws
- sib.output.base
- prereq.struts.public2
If you are running the installver utility, please check the output for a listing of these files above.
Errors will output in this fashion:

The error is output along with the package it is checking, such as non-matching checksums, files missing, and files overlapping. Errors are indicated by the “Component issues found” line. Usually this line will not appear (indicating no error was found).
If you would like to suppress the messages from the above components, a template file has been provided to be used with the installver utility.
Simply place this file in the executable path for installver (<WAS_HOME>/bin/) and execute it the following way:
| ./installver.sh -userpropertyfile <TEMPLATE_PATH> |
Where <TEMPLATE_PATH> is the path to the template file (download the file below).
