APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In InfoSphere Information Server 11.3, the AppServerAdmin.sh
  command was changed such that if you have configured your
  WebSphere profile to run under a non-root ID, it will ensure
  that files updated by AppServerAdmin.sh in the WebSphere
  profile will be owned by the profile owner even though you run
  AppServerAdmin.sh as root.  However, if your current umask is
  077, the updated files created by the root ID are not able to
  be read by the profile owner so it fails to propagate the
  changes.
  
  The failure will look similar to:
  
  # ./AppServerAdmin.sh -db -user xmeta -password *******

Local fix

• Change the AppServerAdmin.sh script to set the umask to 002 so
  the command will succeed. This will be fixed in a future
  release.
