PK73004: V6.1 DMGR INSTALLING RAR FILE VIA ADMINSTRATIVE CONSOLE TO V6.0.2 NODE FAILS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The fix is to address 6.1 console installing a rar
on a 6.0.2 node.
..
The fix will take care of 2 things:
..
1. Change the behavior of the 6.1 DMGR  to where
   installation of rar files will expand them to
   the outer directory as it did in previous versions
2. If a new rar file is installed to 6.0.2, it will
   backup the existing rar install if it is expanded.
   The updated rar install will expand just the
   outer level. Remove the backup if extraction is
   successful.

****************************************************************
The V6.1 resource adapter install has added capability to
delete the temporary copy of a resource adapter downloaded to
a node after an install. However, this new capability is not
supported in a V6.0.1 node causing a resource adapter to be
installed or updated in an expanded format. The difference in
expansion between the previously install and the update
results in the following exception:

  ConfigServiceException javax.management.MBeanException
   com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException:
ADMN0029E: An error occurred while extracting archive
   /testcase/toyRA.rar. The exception is
com.ibm.etools.j2ee.commonarchivecore.exception.SaveFailureExcep
tion: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Problem conclusion

The code was modified not to send the request to delete the
temporary copy of a resource adapter to a V6.0.1 node, and the
installed or updated resource adapter is always in a
non-expanded format.

The fix for this problem spans two releases, V6.1 and V6.0.1.
This APAR covers the fix in a V6.1 deployment manager. If a
resource adapter is installed on a V6.0.1 node through a V6.1
console before this fix is applied, the installed resource
adapter is in an expanded format. An update to the same
resource adapter after this fix is applied will fail. Customer
has option to either manually remove the installed resource
adapter in a V6.0.1 node or apply PK73157 fix to a V6.0.1 node.

APAR PK73004 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.23 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1
for z/OS.
