SYMPTOM 2

The following would be another symptom of having incorrect permissions when running WebSphere as the root application and having the Oracle Utilities Application Framework Based environment installed as a non-root user.

[1/27/15 11:09:35:491 CST] 000000aa SystemOut     O - 2015-01-27 11:09:35,491 [JVM 1 ERROR logger] ERROR (cobol.host.ProcessLogger) ERROR: Could not load classpath property file 'spl.properties'

Possible Causes

• SPLEBASE is not set either via the command line or it is not set correctly in the IBM WebSphere Console (Select Servers, Server Types, WebSphere application servers).

• When running IBM WebSphere as the root user, and having a different Oracle Utilities Application Framework administrator user owner (default user cissys).

• WebSphere binaries are installed and running as the root user, and the application server is configured with the owner of cissys.
