To go back to the start, I have an issue with WPS 5.0.2 where when i click "
Add Portlet" in the "Edit Page" screen, the screen just refreshes, and nothi
ng happens.

I read somewhere this could be fixed by applying WPS 5.0.2.1, and this is wh
ere the trouble starts.

I use this doco to do the update, and have followed every instruction to the
 letter (my Portal Server is in a cluster, although it's the only one in the
 cluster at the moment):
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pvc/w...ll_cluster.html

I've applied WAS Base 5.0.2.2, as well as PME 5.0.2.2, and all the req'd efi
xes (inc 81248), on Solaris by the way.

The 'UpdatePortal' command works fine, the fixpack installs all the files as
 successfully.

When i run step 6 under "Installing the cumulative fix", the "WPSconfig.sh W
P-PTF-5021...", it says BUILD FAILED on step 22, which is the update of the 
wps datasources.  Here's the text:

----------------------------------------------

The crux of this is the "Can't read" DbSchema and JDBCProviderName, 'no such
 variable'.

I've checked my datasources, they all appear to be there, and functioning.  
I can connect to the database using this command:
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-wps
Which tells me that everything is ok in terms of my setupCmdLine.sh and Db2p
rofile.

If I change the WP-PTF-5021.xml file to not fail on step 22, the WPSconfig continues to
 step 29, which is where it tries to connect to [url]http://localhost:9081/wps/config.[
/url]  That page returns a 'cannot load servlet (portal)' type error, which 
bombs the script
out, as i mentioned in my earlier email.

So it's the DbSchema/JDBCProviderName variables i'm trying to track down.  I
 have an open call with IBM regarding all this, i will post back when i have
 the fix.
