  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The kc.log and kc_err.log files         *
  *                      were being created in the wrong         *
  *                      directory and causing a IOException.    *

  ****************************************************************
  The kc.log and kc_err.log files were being created under the
  wrong directory. Also, if the user.dir property was set the
  kc.log files were created there instead. The kc.log files
  should be under the profile óÔé¼Ôäós  óÔé¼ £log óÔé¼Ôäó director
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue was resolved by using the USER_INSTALL_ROOT
  environment variable in the 'log' dir file path definition.
  Now the kc.log and kc_err.log file will be created under the
  profile's 'log' directory.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
