    ****************************************************************
    After updating an application through the monitored directory
    deployment, the application failed to start because no
    deployment target was set in the deployment.xml file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • It is a bug in the properties file based configuration code
    that missed setting the deployment target in deployment.xml
    when a war file is deployed via the drag drop deployment
    service.  It causes application start failure after the
    application is deployed or updated. Code has been corrected to
    set the deployment target.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
