Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V8.0                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On IBM i systems, the LIBPATH           *
    *                      environment variable from the server    *
    *                      configuration is ignored at server      *
    *                      startup.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Apply fix pack 8.0.0.2 or higher            *
    ****************************************************************
    The startserver command will ignore the value of the LIBPATH
    environment variable which is set in the application server's
    configuration. As a result, some Web applications will fail
    to start due to the inability of the application server to
    find some classes which depend on the LIBPATH environment
    variable.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The startserver command will now append the value of the
    application server's LIBPATH environment variable to the value
    it sets at server startup.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
