Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server updating an already-installed * * application * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An EAR file remains in the wstemp * * directory after updating an * * application * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Users of WebSphere Application Server can update an application using the wsadmin command line interface. When wsadmin is used to update files within an application (a "partial" application update), a temporary EAR file is created in the <WAS_PROFILE_HOME>/wstemp directory. This file remains after the command is finished and even after the server is shut down. This problem does not occur if you update the application using the administrative console, or if you use wsadmin to replace the whole EAR. It only occurs for a partial update using the wsadmin client. For example, the following command is used to update the web.xml file in the application named DefaultApplication.ear: wsadmin -lang jython -f webxml-update.py Contents of webxml-update.py: AdminApp.update('DefaultApplication', 'file', ['-operation', 'update','-contents', 'web.xml', '-contenturi', 'DefaultWebApplication.war/WEB-INF/web.xml']) AdminConfig.save() After command completion DefaultApplication.ear remains in a subdirectory of the "wstemp" directory.
Problem conclusion
The problem was caused by a failure to close the EAR file which prevented it from being deleted. The code is now updated to close the EAR file. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.7.
