Error description
Empty zip files named like CommercePartialEAR_<timestamp>.zip are created in the temp directory of the WebSphere Application Server host where the WebSphere Commerce application is run. If you enable SERVER_MANAGEMENT trace you see entries similar to the one below but not followed by subsequent WASEARUpdater addFile or update log entries. [11/6/12 16:39:08:812 EST] 0000003a WC_SERVER_MAN 3 PartialEARBuilder initialize Partial EAR file path: /tmp/CommercePartialEAR_121106163908.zip When jobs such as ScheduledContentManagedFileEARUpdate prepare to do an application update but end up not needing to deploy any changes, the act of preparing for the update creates an empty EAR update zip file in the temp directory and, when no subsequent actions are performed, it does not get cleaned up.
Local fix
Manually delete the empty zip files
