customizing the product.
These two files in particular had the userid of the customizer
as the owner are
 <WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/zWASPostInstall
er.properties
 <WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/service-level.p

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V6.1 for z/OS                                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The ownerships and permissions on       *
*                      the post installer related files are    *
*                      not consistent with those in the rest   *
*                      of the WebSphere configuration file     *
*                      system                                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The BBO*HFSB (BBOWHFSB, BBOMHFSB, BBODHFSB, and BBOCHFSB)
jobs currently invoke the post installer setup script,
bbowpost.sh, after the scripts which set the ownerships
and permissions on the WAS_HOME file system.  The step
which invokes bbowpost.sh needs to be moved prior to those
steps, so that the files that it generates

<WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/zWASPostInstall
er.properties

<WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/service-level.p
roperties

also get updated with the proper ownerships and permissions

Problem conclusion

The BBOWHFSB, BBOMHFSB, BBODHFS and BBOCHFSB jobs will be
updated so that the step which invokes bbowpost.sh will
be done prior to the steps which set ownerships and
permissions.

APAR PK74687 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
