PH40554: ENHANCE ERROR MESSAGE WHEN APPLY OF IHS PTF FAILS WHEN THERE IS NOT A VALID SMPJHOME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SMP/E APPLY of an IHS PTF fails with:
  
  jar: /usr/lpp/ihsa_zos/IBM/HAPCE001 71: FSUM7351 not found
  
  
    ** Could not unjar /usr/lpp/ihsa_zos/IBM//HAPCCB001: jar
  command
  
  exited with  status=127
  
  The FSUM7351 and exit status 127 means the jar command is not
  found.  This can happen if valid Java runtime is not found in
  SMP/E.  To fix this, ensure the java runtime exists at the
  directory specified by SMPJHOME DD statement or mounted at the
  directory specified by SMPJHOME.
  
  This APAR will enhance the script so that if the status code is
  127, an additional message will come out saying to check the
  directory specified by SMPJHOME DD statement or mounted at the
  directory specified by SMPJHOME.
  

Local fix

• Ensure ther java runtime exists at the directory specified by
  SMPJHOME DD statement or mounted at the directory specified by
  SMPJHOME.

Problem conclusion

• The installation script was updated to emit a more specific
  message if jar is not in the path:
  
  Check to ensure your java runtime exists at the directory
  specified by SMPJHOME DD statement or mounted at the directory
  specified by SMPJHOME
