Issue
When attempting to upgrade or install RSA Via L&G 7.0 (GA) on WebLogic or WebSphere, the following deployment error is generated when attempting to deploy the aveksa.ear file:
 
Initialization Status 
Unable to read Aveksa_System.cfg 
Please resolve the problem and restart the application server.
 
The error above will appear in the browser UI when trying to navigate to the product after starting it.  It will also log the same information in the /tmp/home/oracle/aveksa.ear/aveksa.war/log/aveksaServer.log.
Cause
This failure occurs when attempting to create the Aveksa_System.cfg file in a file path in the /tmp directory.   This is a known issue in the release version of Via L&G 7.0.
Resolution
This issue has been resolved in RSA Via L&G 7.0 P01 (Patch P01).   Download the P01 patch and use the aveksa.ear file in the patch for the deployment. 
Workaround
Manually create the directory where the file will be located.  The directory name should be /tmp/<install location>.  For example, if Via L&G is installed in /home/oracle, the Aveksa_System.cfg file will be created in /tmp/home/oracle/Aveksa_System.cfg, so ensure that the /tmp/home/oracle directory exists.
