Local fix

  • The "INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO LSTAT" warnings caused by
    attempts to access
    templates/servertypes/NODE_AGENT/servertype-metadata.xml do not
    cause any funcational issues and can be ignored. Currently there
     is no servertype-metadata.xml template file related to
    nodeagent process types and the absence of the file is being
    handled correctly.

    ****************************************************************
    During nodeagent start-up on z/OS the job logs may contain
    "INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO LSTAT" warnings caused by attempts
    to access
    templates/servertypes/NODE_AGENT/servertype-metadata.xml
    which are output by the Operating System. These warnings do
    not cause any functional issues because the absence of this
    file is handled correctly and currently there is no
    servertype-metadata.xml template file related to nodeagent
    process types.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The calling code has been altered such that it no longer
    attempts to access servertype-metadata.xml template files
    related to nodeagent process types.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
