Troubleshoot: Warnings issued when creating an instance with the config_ant.bat command
Warnings display when you create an instance in a WebSphere Commerce installation directory that contains spaces.
Problem
These warnings are issued when creating an instance using the following command:
config_ant.bat -DinstanceName=instance CreateInstance
Several warnings are logged in the:
WC_INSTALL/instances/instance/logs/creatInstanceANT.log.
For example, the warnings are similar to the following message:
WC_INSTALL\config\deployment\xml\filename.xml could not be found.
These warnings can also be issued if you use these commands to create the instance:
config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance PrepareDeployment config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance PreInstanceCreation config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ConfigureDatabase config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ConfigureCommerceServer config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ConfigureCommerceServer_400QI config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ConfigureWorkspaceComponent config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance RegisterInstance config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ConfigureWebServer config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance ChangeIHSPermission config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance CreateHTTPService config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance PostInstanceCreation config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance StopWAS config_ant.bat -DinstanceName= instance RunStats
If you are running these commands, the warning messages appear in the terminal window and are not logged in a log file.
Solution
Create the instance in a directory that does not contain spaces.
