APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Installation Manager hangs after selecting the Update button and
  choosing an installed WebSphere Application Server installation.
  After this choice,  press the next button and Installation
  Manager hangs.
  This can happen in silent install also.
  Javacore generated on Installation manager shows the following
  code :
  
  java/lang/Object.wait(Native Method)
  java/lang/Object.wait(Object.java:167)
  java/lang/UNIXProcess.waitFor(UNIXProcess.java:115)
  com/ibm/ws/detect/running/process/v80/DetectRunningProcessSelect
  or.checkRunningProcess(DetectRunningProcessSelector.java:220)
  com/ibm/ws/detect/running/process/v80/DetectRunningProcessSelect
  or.isRunningProcessDetected(DetectRunningProcessSelector.java:18
  2)
  com/ibm/ws/detect/running/process/v80/DetectRunningProcessSelect
  or.evaluate(DetectRunningProcessSelector.java:124)
  com/ibm/cic/common/core/model/internal/SelectionExpression$WithB
  undle.evaluate(SelectionExpression.java:234)
  com/ibm/cic/common/core/model/internal/SelectionOperator$AndOp.e
  xecute(SelectionOperator.java:143)
  com/ibm/cic/common/core/model/internal/SelectionExpression$WithO
  perator.evaluate(SelectionExpression.java:86)
  
  Installation Manager log also might have a message like
  "Running processes have been detected that may interfere with
  the current operation. Stop all WebSphere and related processes
  before continue."
  
  This happens if the Java processes on the application server are
  running. Once they are stopped then the update goes fine.
  

Local fix

• Stop all java processes and then try the update
