While running the setupCmdLine.sh script to set your Websphere environment variables you get the error: “dirname: invalid option — ‘b'”.
This might happen if you start the script (as described in the documentation) from the directory “/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/”. If you instead run it from the Deployment manager profile, then it should work:
. /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/setupCmdLine.sh
Do not forget the leading “. ” in front of the command!
You may check that the variables are set correctly by running
echo $WAS_HOME
This variable should now be set to you WAS install directory (e.g. “/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer”)
