Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
  *                 V7.0                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The ownerships and permissions on       *
  *                      the post installer related files are    *
  *                      not consistent with those in the rest   *
  *                      of the WebSphere configuration file     *
  *                      system                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The BBO*HFSB (BBOWHFSB, BBOMHFSB, BBODHFSB, and BBOCHFSB)
  jobs currently invoke the post installer setup script,
  bbowpost.sh, after the scripts which set the ownerships
  and permissions on the WAS_HOME file system.  The step
  which invokes bbowpost.sh needs to be moved prior to those
  steps, so that the files that it generates
  <WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/zWASPostInstall
  er.properties
  
  <WAS_HOME>/properties/service/product/WebSphere/service-level.p
  roperties
  
  also get updated with the proper ownerships and permissions
  

Problem conclusion

• The BBOWHFSB, BBOMHFSB, BBODHFS and BBOCHFSB jobs will be
  updated so that the step which invokes bbowpost.sh will
  be done prior to the steps which set ownerships and
  permissions.
