APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If the job does not have enough above the bar memory due to a
system limit, the install job can hang.  In one case, the last
message in the appdata log xml file was

<entry num='115' time='1363911925744' elapsed='42:25.62'
level='WARNING' thread='Thread-8009'>
 <logger>global</logger>
 <class>com.ibm.ws.exec.command.ProcessTimeoutThread</class>
 <method>run</method>
 <message>Waited for 1800000 ms. The running command
[/MAINT/zWebSphere/V8R0/bin/postinstall.sh] is time out and
terminated.
</message>
</entry>

Local fix

Code MEMLIMIT=NOLIMIT in the JCL.  An example of this is

//INSTALL  EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=0M,MEMLIMIT=NOLIMIT
