If WTP is installed on the machine then this should not be a problem. If your PATH environmnt variable doesn't contain the JDK's bin directory you will need to fully qualify the jar command (e.g. /QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk12/bin/jar). IMPORTANT! Carefully compare the dates of the files supplied with this APAR fix to the files being replaced. If ANY of the files being replaced are more recent than the files shipped with this APAR, discontinue the installation of this fix and contact Customer Support for clarification. 3) First add execute permissions to the shell script, then run instfix.sh as shown below: chmod +x instfix.sh instfix.sh /QIBM/ProdData/TranscodingPublisher where /QIBM/ProdData/TranscodingPublisher is the install directory of WebSphere Transcoding Publisher for iSeries.

If WTP is installed on the machine then this should not be a problem. If your PATH environmnt variable doesn't contain the JDK's bin directory you will need to fully qualify the jar command (e.g. /usr/java_dev2/bin/jar for AIX). 3) For Windows, run instfix.bat as shown below: instfix c:\Progra~1\IBMTrans where c:\Progra~1\IBMTrans is the install directory for WebSphere Transcoding Publisher.
