PI98200: UCD SERVER WRITES EMPTY CONFIG FILE WHEN DISK IS FULL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When starting the UCD Server, if the server does not have
  sufficient disk space available, it will attempt to rewrite the
  installed.properties file with encrypted values. However,
  because there isn't enough disk space available, it will
  eventually fail to write to the new config file. Rather than
  aborting the start up process and reporting the error, the
  server will overwrite the old properties file. This will cause
  unpredictable behavior.
  

Local fix

• Ensure that your server has sufficient disk space before
  running.
  Backup your server and configuration files regularly. Replacing
  the overwritten config file with a back up should help expedite
  recovery.
