Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebShpere Application Server 9.0 can * * not be installed on SUSE Linux * * Enterprise 15 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** For SUSE, WebShpere Application Server OS pre-request check bundle reads the release file /etc/SuSE-release to get OS version and patch level. However, from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, /etc/SuSE-release is removed and replaced by /etc/os-release. That's why the bundle fails to get the OS version.
Problem conclusion
The fix is to add SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 and /etc/os-release in the OS pre-request check bundle metadata. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.2.
