Problem with WAS at Fix Pack 6

Hi,

Anyone run into a problem with WAS at FixPack 6? It appears there have been many calls to GSS regarding this and they are recommended NOT going to that FP. Unfortunately, in the AS400 world, you have to beg IBM to give you a prior FP.

There's supposed to be a work around. Something to do with editing the class path to move the IBM xerces.jar behind the JDE version. However, we have been unable to figure out how to edit this class path. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is regarding WAS 4.0 AE.

Thanx

This is what JDE support reluctantly sent me after 2 weeks on this issue.

1) Open WAS Console in the Admin Client

2) Select your system under the Node

3) Select the Application server (ex. AS_JDEdwards_1)

4) Select the JVM Settings tab.

5) Click on Add button under "Classpaths" and type the location of the xerces.jar file that is located in the JAS directory. Example:

/JDEdwards/JAS/EA_JDEdwards_1.ear/webclient.war/WEB-INF/lib/xerces.jar

6) Click on Apply.

7) Stop and re-start the Application server

They say I still have to downgrade to fixpak5 when it is available on the IBM web site.

Cody,

Just last night, the competency center indicated that they recently did some testing of the classpath change and found it created 'other' issues. We were able to aquire FP5 and loaded it. I haven't tested it yet.

Thanx,
Doug
