Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * Administrators who choose to install the WebSphere Liberty   *
    * profile as part of Worklight Server, and who specify an      *
    * installation directory that contains the special character   *
    * '+'.                                                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * Special characters are not allowed in paths, but the         *
    * installation did not properly check for them.                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

  • The Worklight Server installer now diagnoses the unsuitable
    installation directory before the installation is performed.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpack 5.0.6.0.
