allocation on server start.
The server SystemOut.log will show following sequence:

specification.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server who set the transaction log          *
*                  directory                                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Specifying a transaction log            *
*                      directory with a space at the end       *
*                      causes an error                         *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Spaces at the end of filenames are trimmed by the Windows
operating system, but the WebSphere Application Server did not
remove space from the end of a specified transaction directory
log name.
This does not affect other operating systems, as space
characters are preserved at the end of directory names

Problem conclusion

WebSphere Application Server has been updated to remove space
characters from the end of the transaction directory log name
when run on Windows.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
