PI16841: WHEN RUNNING THE CONFIG.SH FOR THE ECAM Z/OS DATA COLLECTOR IT FAILS WHEN PROMPTED FOR THE USERID.

APAR status

Error description

• When running the config.sh for the eCAM z/OS data collector it
  fails when prompted for the userid.
  
  Running the config.sh or the
  migrate.sh it fails when the scripts request the WAS Admin
  userid. After entering the userid, garbled characters appear:
  
  ...WebSphere Global Security is enabled.

  properties file
  (soap.client.props or sas.client.props)? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
  [default is:
  2]:
  
  
  Enter WebSphere admin user name:
  WZONLAD

Local fix

• For the time being please use -user and -password options when
  invoking
  config.sh,  then when garbled password prompt comes up - just
  hit enter
  to accept  the value from -password option. This should work
  around the
  issue.
