JR33205: IS ADMINISTRATION GUIDE THE PATH SHOWN FOR STARTSERVER.SH ASSUMES THAT THE PRODUCT IS INSTALLED IN THE DEFAULT LOCATION

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Linux or UNIX The path shown in this command assumes that the
  product
  is installed in the default location and uses the default
  WebSphere
  Application Server profile.
  
  Your path will vary if you installed IBM Information Server in a
  different location or used a different profile.
  
  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/default/bin/startServer.sh
  -username <WAS_Username> -password <WAS_Password>
  
  
  I needed to add the server1 parameter for the script to work.
  ex:
  opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/default/bin/startServer.sh
  server1  -username <WAS_Username> -password <WAS_Password>.
  
  Information Server 8.1
  AIX
  

Local fix

  Run the script this way for 8.1
  
  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/default/bin/startServer.sh
  server1
  
  or
  
  /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin/MetadataServer.sh run

Problem conclusion

• Will be fixed in 8.5... well, actually the instructions are
  changing for 8.5 to use the MetadataServer.sh script
  

Temporary fix
