Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V8.0 following the documentation     *
    *                  instructions on how to move a node.         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and                *
    *                      USER_INSTALL_ROOT environment           *
    *                      variables cannot be changed from the    *
    *                      console.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The console specifically disallowed the user from changing
    WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and USER_INSTALL_ROOT values.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Because the documenation required WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and
    USER_INSTALL_ROOT to be changed, the console code was modified
    NOT to dissallow changes to these environment variables.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
