  PATH=/sys/java64bt/v8r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J8.0/bin
  Point to the directory, where the .jar file was uploaded to, and run the following Java command to

• start the update

  java -jar CA_OM_WEBVIEWER_12_1_Updt.jar

  java -Dlax.nl.env.iatempdir=/u/v012345/tmp -jar CA_OM_WEBVIEWER_12_1_Updt.jar

  where /u/v012345/tmp is your new tmp folder with at least 150 meg of space.

  Do this even though you believe you have enough space in your current /tmp folder.

Additional Information

The Tomcat server.xml file is in ASCII

You can edit a file in ASCII mode using one of the following methods:

Use a third-party utility that allows direct editing of ASCII files from USS.

Edit the ASCII file locally with a text editor:
a. Download the file to your computer using FTP in binary mode, so that the encoding is not changed during the transfer.
b. Edit the file on your computer with a text editor.
c. Upload the file back in binary using FTP.

Edit the ASCII file with the ISPF UI Tool within USS:                                                                                                                                                                                                          
a. Select UTILITIES from the ISPF primary option menu. The Utility Selection Panel opens.
b. Select Udlist. The z/OS UNIX Directory List Utility opens.
c. Type the pathname, then use normal USS commands to step down the path to the required directory.
d. Make yourself a superuser and enter the EA command on the appropriate file. The file is in a readable form, and you can update it.
