Error description
z/OSMF UI63197 and UI63210 need to have both UI62356 and UI62361 from Liberty applied. UI62356 from APAR PH10543 does a delete of older versions of Liberty and UI62361 from APAR PH10544 does the actual install of the the Liberty version. UI63197 and UI63210 create a new symlink for z/OSMF to Liberty based on the 19.0.0.3 level. This correctly specifies UI62356 as a co-req, but this does not have a req of UI62361 . If only UI62356 is installed, version 19.0.0.3 won't be installed, but the z/OSMF Symlink is still created. ANALYSIS: z/OSMF Angel and Server task will fail with: BPXM047I BPXBATCH FAILED BECAUSE SPAWN (BPX1SPN) /usr/lpp/zosmf/liberty/lib/native/zos/s390x/bbgzangl FAILED WITH RETURN CODE 00000081 REASON CODE 0594003D. The /usr/lpp/zosmf/liberty directory is a symlink to a liberty directory that doesn't exist. KNOWN IMPACT: z/OSMF will not start up. VERIFICATION STEPS: Check the /usr/lpp/liberty_zos/ to verify if the directory named 19.0.0.3 exists or not. PE INFORMATION: USERS AFFECTED: z/OSMF builds a symlink based on 19.0.0.3 being installed but it is not available and the startup fails. USER IMPACT: PH10949 and PH10955 fixed the problem it reported but introduced a new problem.

Problem conclusion
In order to upgrade WAS Liberty to version 19.0.0.3, Both WAS Liberty PTF UI62356 and UI62361 should be installed, so z/OSMF has to put both PTFs as prerequisite in order to point z/OSMF to WAS Liberty 19.0.0.3, but z/OSMF PTF UI63210 and UI63197 just put PTF UI62356 as prerequisite. This APAR puts both UI62356 and UI62361 as prerequisite.
