Has anyone tried to apply the FP 29 for Websphere application server 7 on z/OS on top of FP27 ?

Hi prashant,

  Not yet, we are planning to do in next weeks.  Any problem?

regards

Hi Gabreil,

We were able to successfully SMP/E Receive and Apply the FP29 PTF's.But when we started the DMGR and the Nodeagent,the applyPTF script failed.
We will be raising this issue with the IBM support soon.

Hi prashant,

  You have found a fix in WAS z/OS 7.0.0.29

  WebSphere Application Servers for z/OS do not start after upgrade to 7.0.0.29
  www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=s...

  The work around to solve is:

 

The applyPTF.out log will show errors like this:

Includesfile //AppServer/properties/service/product/WebSphere/service/actions/sync/cf291321.01 not found.

This issue is specific to fix pack 7.0.0.29 and is being addressed by apar PM92213.

Note: Only product users upgrading to v7.0.0.29 will encounter this problem. All other fix pack levels are unaffected by it.

Temporary Fix:
Rename file cf91321.01 to cf291321.01 in the following directory for each node that was upgraded. Note, the difference is the extra digit "2"
 

  Hope this helps.

Regards

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for the info about the fix.
