APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After the application CleanUpCIEar.ear is installed, it fails
  with the following exception when trying to run it:
  
  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
              com.ibm.websphere.ci.samples.CleanUpCIWork
  
  CleanUpCIxJCLtemplate.xml needs to be corrected to specify a
  correct classname:
  
  com.ibm.websphere.ci.util.CleanUpCIWork
  

Local fix

• 1. Make a copy of the following file for backup purposes:
  ..AppServer/util/Batch/CleanUpCIxJCLtemplate.xml
  
  2. Update CleanUpCIxJCLtemplate.xml:
  
  The file should contain this text:                    ]
  
  <job name="CleanUpCIEar"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <jndi-name>ejb/com/ibm/ws/ci/CleanUpCIEJB</jndi-name>
      <job-step name="Step1">
          <!-- classname element within the job-step indicates
  this is a CI application -->
  <classname>com.ibm.websphere.ci.samples.CleanUpCIWork</classname
  >
  
  Change the last line above to
  
  <classname>com.ibm.websphere.ci.util.CleanUpCIWork</classname>
