IZ26833: CFG FILE NAME GENERATED IS NOT THE CORRECT NAME FOR EXECUTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem is that the configuration utility uses the
  'hostname'
    command to determine the system name and the execution
  launcher uses
    the network hostname as found by Java.  If the case of both of
  these
    names are different, then this problem can occur.
  
    The cfg file is created by ./itmcmd config -A -o inst1 gb with
  a name
    like anexamplehostname_gb_inst1.cfg, which has a lower case
  host name.
  
    The cfg file searched for by ./itmcmd agent -o inst1 start gb
  with a
    name like ANEXAMPLEHOSTNAME_gb_inst1.cfg, which has an upper
  case host
    name.
  

Local fix

• Make sure that the system name returned by the hostname
  command is
    lower case and the hostname returned by the nslookup command
  is upper
    case.
    Configure the gb agent with an istance.
    Attempt to start the gb agebt with that instance.
  

Problem summary

• The configuration file name generated by the "itm config"
  command generates a configuration file with an uppercase
  hostname component of the filename.  However, the "itmcmd agent
  start" command searches for a configuration filename that
  contains a lowercase hostname component of the filename.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified as follows:
  
  1.  Always attempt to create the configuration file by using the
      lowercase hostname and if successful, create a symbolic link
      from an uppercase hostname configuration file to the actual
      lowercase hostname configuration file.
  
  2.  If the creation of the lowercase hostname configuration file
      fails, create the configuration file using the uppercase
      hostname and then create a symbolic link from a lowercase
      hostname configuration file to the actual uppercase hostname
      file.
  
  This way both a lowercase and uppercase version of the file
  exists.
