WMSG1603E - An error occurred trying to read the bundle

I encountered a strange error this weekend whilst installing multiple fix packs across numerous WAS systems. Despite installing these fixes numerous times, this error only occurred on one system.

I was upgrading from WAS 6.1.0.21 to 6.1.0.27 - that included WAS, SDK, IHS and Plugin fixes.

After installing the fix packs when I restarted the server I got the following error:

WMSG1603E: An internal error occurred. It was not possible to register the WebSphere MQ JMS client with the application serve
r due to exception org.osgi.framework.BundleException: An error occurred trying to read the bundle

followed by a java stack which included the following:

WMSG1603E: An internal error occurred. It was not possible to register the WebSphere MQ JMS client with the application serve
r due to exception org.osgi.framework.BundleException: An error occurred trying to read the bundle

A quick search and the reason was obvious. This WAS system does not run as root but when I checked the file permissions on the org.osgi.framework bundles in {WAS_INSTALL_DIR}/profiles/{PROFILE_NAME}/configuration the bundle in question was owned by root:

drwxr-x--- 2 wasadm wasadm 256 07 Feb 10:25 org.eclipse.update
drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 256 07 Feb 10:26 org.eclipse.osgi
drwxr-x--- 3 wasadm wasadm 256 04 Jan 11:24 org.eclipse.core.runtime

A quick change of permissions on the directory and all sub directories followed by a restart and everything came up fine.

    Hi Deaner

    I was running on unix so it was a simple case of running ls -l against the directories.

    If you are runing on windows I guess it would mean you have to right click the files then check the security settings for each
