• There is not a good error message provided when an an incorrect
  file location is used for -plugin.config.xml.

  ConfigureIHSPlugin.sh
    -plugin.home /IHS/Plugins
    -plugin.config.xml /IHS/Plugins/config/plugin-cfg.xml
    -ihs.conf.file /IHS/conf/httpd.conf
    -operating.system ZOS
    -WAS.webserver.name IHS
    -WAS.host.name company.hostname.com
  
  produces this output:
  
  BUILD FAILED
  /IHS/Plugins/config/actionRegistry/actions/99SBootStrapPluginsIH
  S.ant:987: The following error occurred while executing this
  line:
  /IHS/Plugins/config/actionRegistry/actions/99SBootStrapPluginsIH
  S.ant:697: The following error occurred while executing this
  line:

  The command with the correct file location is:
  ConfigureIHSPlugin.sh
    -plugin.home /IHS/Plugins
    -plugin.config.xml /IHS/Plugins/config/IHS/plugin-cfg.xml
    -ihs.conf.file /IHS/conf/httpd.conf
    -operating.system ZOS
    -WAS.webserver.name IHS
    -WAS.host.name company.hostname.com

  ****************************************************************
  When running ConfigureIHSPlugin.sh on z/OS and a failure
  occurs, the ANT script responsible doesn't provide enough
  information to debug the problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• The underlying ANT script has been modified to give better
  error messages if a failure occurs.
  
  APAR PI30202 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
  8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.5 of WebSphere Application Server.
