APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • updateios operation report dspmsg failure when applying
    ios.artex_profile.rte update.
    
    dspmsg: 1312-044 Missing a default message.
    
    
    Also the motd is updated with a message that contains
    some extra spaces.
    So when a later 'rulescfgset' is run, it fails to clear
    the message from motd saying to run rulescfgset.
    

Local fix

  • - manually remove text below text file from /etc/motd :
    
    The most recent software update has modified the current
    system rules.
    These modifications have not been deployed on the system.
    To view the
    modifications and deploy, run the 'rulescfgset' command.
    

Problem summary

  • Running rulescfgset will not clear the message that says
    to run rulescfgset
    

Problem conclusion

  • Remove some extra spaces from the motd added during VIOS
    update that cause rulescfgset to fail to clear the message
    after being run
    

Temporary fix
