Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server for z/OS V7.0, V8.0 and V8.5.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The APPLY job step output is not        *
  *                      written to the job log when the APPLY   *
  *                      step return code is not 0.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the APPLY job step for a WebSphere Application Server for
  z/OS encounters an error, the ApplyPTF.out log file should be
  written to the job log for the application server.
  

Problem conclusion

• The template files that are used to create the WebSphere
  Application Server for z/OS PROCs will be updated to copy the
  contents of the ApplyPTF.out file to SYSOUT when the APPLY job
  step return code is not 0.
  
  For WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 7.0, the
  template files that are used to create the PROCs reside within
  the WebSphere Customization Toolkit. These PROC template
  updates will only be made within WebSphere Customization
  Toolkit Version 8.5 (which can be used to customize WebSphere
  Application Server Versions 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5).
  
  For WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Versions 8.0 and
  8.5, the template files that are used to create the PROCs
  reside within the respective WebSphere Application Server
  runtime.
  
  This fix does not update existing WebSphere Application Server
  for z/OS PROCs. Installations desiring the PROC update must
  recreate their PROCs after the appropriate service level has
  been installed as documented below.
  
  APAR PM67193 is currently targeted for inclusion in
  Service Level 8.0.0.6  of WebSphere Application Server Version
  8.0, Service Level 8.5.0.2 of WebSphere Application Server
  Version 8.5 and Service Level 8.5.0.2 of WebSphere
  Customization Toolkit Version 8.5. (Note that the support for
  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V7.0 is only contained
  within WebSphere Customization Toolkit V8.5.)
