![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Please also refer to technote 1257063 for a description of this issue: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257063 . During migrating to V6.0.2 or 6.1 of IBMᄅ WebSphereᄅ Application Server for z/OS, in the WASPostUpgrade step of the migration, the following exception was seen, com.ibm.ws.migration.utility.UpgradeException: com.ibm.wsspi.migration.document.exceptions.NotFoundException: /Z1/was60t1/AppServerZ1/profiles/default/installedConnectors/ims ico.rar/ .at com.ibm.ws.migration.postupgrade.Restore.<init>(Restore.java:249 ) .at com.ibm.ws.migration.postupgrade.WASPostUpgrade.restore(WASPostU pgrade.java:231) .at com.ibm.ws.migration.postupgrade.WASPostUpgrade.main(WASPostUpgr ade.java:114) . . MIGR0286E: The migration failed to complete. Service levels V6.1.0.3/ 6.0.2.15 shipped apars that addressed a similar problem, however that was a defect and was not caused by the presence of symlinks as was the case here. So this problem is seen even after applying V6.1.0.3/ 6.0.2.15.Local fix Please also refer to technote 1257063 for a description and workaround of this issue: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257063 Regenerate the migration jobs so that all paths are absolute and there are no symlinks coded. Also, it must be ensured that the variables WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and USER_INTALL_ROOT of the node to be migrated point to the non-symlink path. In this case that was /Z1/was60t1/AppServerZ1. The variables WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and USER_INTALL_ROOT can be changed through the administrative console. They also must be changed in the setupCmdLine.sh script. This is for the node that is being migrated. The HFS must be backed up before this change in case there are problems changing the variables. After the changes, the migration job was rerun and the problem was resolved.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V6.1 for z/OS migrating installs that * * contain symlinked directories in the * * WebSphere path. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migration fails during the UPGRADE * * step because library or rar files are * * not found in the backup directory. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Migration reports that it cannot find library or RAR files in their original path during the UPGRADE step (WASPostUpgrade). This message is actually reporting that the files are not in the backup directory, and these files were not copied because of symlinks in the WebSphere path.Problem conclusion The update will correctly copy the files from the old directory to the backup directory, and will not fail migration if the files cannot be located. A warning will be issued that a given RAR file could not be found, and the customer must copy it manually. APAR PK48599 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.12 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for z/OS.Temporary fix Comments
