  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When creating client container process (i.e. "wlp/bin/client
    create myNewClient") while using Java 8 or higher, the
    creation process will generate a server.env in the client
    directory.  This file is only intended for server processes
    - it is intended to prevent the server from using pre-Java 8
    command line parameters.  These parameters are not used in
    the client process, so there is no need for this file to
    exist in the client directory.

    When creating client container process (i.e. "wlp/bin/client
    create myNewClient") while using Java 8 or higher, the creation
    process will generate a server.env in the client directory.
    This file is only intended for server processes - it is intended
    to prevent the server from using pre-Java 8 command line
    parameters.  These parameters are not used in the client
    process, so there is no need for this file to exist in the
    client directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix for this APAR is that the client creation process will
    no longer generate the server.env file in the client directory.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
