Error description
After installing a new instance of WebSphere Application Server V7.0, 64-bit edition, the product appears to change to the 32-bit edition. After this occurs, application servers may not start or function properly. Additionally, the Profile Managment Tool (PMT) appears to become available, even though it is not normally available in the 64-bit edition. The tool will not start up properly under these conditions. Note that this does not affect the orignal version V7.0.0.0 installer program (sometimes called the "ISMP installer") or Custom Install Packages created by Installation Factory. This only affects installations delivered using IBM Installation Manager. This problem occurs under these circumstances: - You have installed WebSphere Application Server V7.0 (V7.0.0.17) delivered as part of a larger product suite, such as with WebSphere Process Server. - WebSphere Application Server V7.0 is installed using IBM Installation Manager, using the graphical wizard (GUI). - During the installation process, you chose to use the 64-bit edition of WebSphere Application Server. - After the installation process completes, you do not exit the Installation Manager. Instead, you choose to install a WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack. Due to this defect, under those circumstances, some 64-bit portions of the WebSphere Application Server product are uninstalled and replaced with 32-bit portions.
Local fix
If an installation instance of WebSphere Application Server V7.0 has been affected by this problem, then it will need to be uninstalled and reinstalled. In order to avoid triggering this defect, there are some alternative steps you can follow: Solution 1: Choose to install the WebSphere Application Server V7.0 product using the Installation Manager graphical wizard (GUI). Once it has completed, exit the Installation Manager. You may immediately restart Installation Manager to perform further operations such as installing Feature Packs. Solution 2: Choose to install the WebSphere Application Server V7.0 product and Feature Packs during the same installation operation using the graphical wizard (GUI). You will need to create a special response file before starting Installation Manager. This is necessary to help avoid a second issue documented in APAR PM42458. This solution is documented outside the APAR for readability. For complete details of this solution, please refer to technote 1508509, available here: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21508509 Solution 3: Choose to install the WebSphere Application Server V7.0 product using silent mode. This defect does not affect silent installation mode.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users who install IBM WebSphere * * Application Server Network Deployment * * edition, Version 7 and Version 7 Feature * * Packs together using IBM Installation * * Manager GUI. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server Network * * Deployment edition V7.0 64 bit * * Installation contains a 32 bit SDK * * after installing a feature pack. * * After this occurs, application * * servers may not start or function * * properly. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Installation process fails to detect the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment edition V7 installation is a 64 bit installation when it tries to install a feature pack with it in the GUI mode. As a result, Installation Manager uninstalls the 64-bit binary library and SDK from the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment edition V7 and replaces it with the 32-bit version.
Problem conclusion
The bitmode detection logic has been changed to look for the is64bit property under the same install profile (that is, the installation root) for all offering packages to determine the bitness of the existing installation. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.19.
