Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to publish an OSGi application in Rational Application

  result in the error:
  
  CWWMH0197E: Problems were encountered while attempting to start
  business-level application
  
  Problem:
  
  If you are using 'Run Server with Resources in workspace' as
  your publishing setting and publish an OSGi application to the
  server while the output folder of your project does not exist in
  your project then the publish will fail with the above error
  message.
  
  This error does not happening if the publishing setting is set
  to 'Run Server with Resources on Server'.
  
  Local fix:
  
  The workaround is to make sure your output folder exists in your
  project even if you have to create an empty one manually.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If the output folder of the project does not exist then it will
  still be added to the publishing metadata resulting in errors

Problem conclusion

• A check is added for missing folders to skip over them.
  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application
  Developer v8.5.5 and v9.0.
