APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When zpmt.sh is run at the WAS zOS V8 level against a response
  file created using the WebSphere Customization Toolbox (WCT) on
  Windows, no errors are generated and no data sets are created.
  

Local fix

• Change the back slashes in the templatePath value in the
  response file to forward slashes and retry.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V8.0  *
  *                  users that use the zpmt.sh command to       *
  *                  generate the z/OS customization jobs.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The zpmt.sh command will fail if one    *
  *                      or more backslshes are specified for    *
  *                      the templatePath value in the           *
  *                      response file.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the Profile Management Tool for z/OS running within the
  WebSphere Customization Toolkit running on Windows generates a
  response file for internal use, the profilePath value contains
  backslashes. If one of these response files are then used as
  input to the zpmt.sh command, the zpmt.sh command will fail
  (whereas the V7.0 zpmt.sh command will tolerate backslahses
  in the templatePath value.)
  

Problem conclusion

• The zpmt.sh command has been updated to tolerate backslashes
  in the templatePath value.
  
  APAR PM46346 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 8.0.0.2 of WebSphere Application Server V8.0.
