I've been making extensive use of wsadmin.sh as part of scripted WebSphere application installs to virtual machines, and today a script which I had written a long time ago started to throw the following error:
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: ADMA0043E: /tmp/app9215861615159415312.ear does not exist for installation.
I didn't find any conclusive solution to the error on the web although some suggested there was a mismatch in the location of the temp folder. I changed the websphere variable (Environment > Websphere variables) from
WAS_TEMP_DIR = ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/temp
to
WAS_TEMP_DIR = /tmp
Restarted the server and the problem went away. I have no idea why this worked before, but I guess it's fixed now.
