PH51902: ZD&T 14.0, 14.01: INSTALLATION ON UNSUPPORTED LINUX OS DISPLAYS "SUCCESSFUL" MESSAGE BUT ACTUALLY FAILS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ZD&T 14.0, 14.01
  .
  ZD&T 14.x does not support older versions of some Linux distros,
  for example, RHEL 7.9. However, the installation is still able
  to continue and although some errors may be displayed, it still
  seems to install successfully, while displaying the following
  message:
  
    ZD&T Enterprise Edition install was successful.
  
  The installation failure is apparent when trying to start ZD&T
  and also in the logs.
  This is most damaging during an upgrade, as the existing
  environment would then become corrupt.
