PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Get time out warnings during
installation of the IBM WebSphere
Application Server using
IBM Installation Manager on i5/OS.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When installing IBM WebSphere Application Server on i5/OS
using IBM Installation Manager, the configuration operation
times out and generates warnings in the IBM Installation
Manager log file.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The time out value for the configuration                        
operation has been increased to avoid the time out issue when   
installing the IBM WebSphere Application Server on              
i5/OS using IBM Installation Manager.
