****************************************************************

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migration fails with a NullPointer      *
*                      Exception when scanning these partial   *
*                      objects.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The migration code makes the assumption that the J2C connectors
are complete, which is not the same behavior as the WebSphere
runtime.  This results in exceptions.
Problem conclusion
Migration's code has been updated to allow J2C connection
objects to be partially defined, and these partial definitions
will be honored in the new configuration.

APAR PK53705 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.15 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1
for z/OS.
