APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
From SMEUI selecting "Prepare for Cold Start" the following
error messages were displayed:
BBON0493E Prepare for cold start failed. Unable to save
conversation data.
BBON1062E Unable to export configuration.
From the CTRACE output you can see:
B390 MIB80005 080E7091 19:22:21.384903 Export file copy
command error

rc = 512 0x00000200
Also, if the Prepare for ColdStart is done using the SMAPI then
this message is created: BBON1062E Unable to export
configuration. (SM API message for same problem).
The blank in the application name appears to be the problem
because changing the application name to ABC_II.ear stopped
the error from occurring.
Local fix
If reasonable, all applications with blanks in their name could
be deleted and then redeployed with names not containing any
imbedded blanks.

From SMEUI selecting "Prepare for Cold Start" the following

From the CTRACE output you can see:
  B390 MIB80005 080E7091 19:22:21.384903
    Export file copy command error
Also, if the Prepare for ColdStart is done using the SMAPI then
this message is created:
  BBON1062E Unable to export configuration.
The problem was caused by a blank in an application name;
changing the blank to an underscore ("_") character
stopped the error from occurring.
Note:  This problem also occurs when exporting a J2EE
server with an associated application whose name contains
a blank, whether using the SMEUI or SMAPI interface.
Problem conclusion
WebSphere Application Server version 4.0.1 for z/OS and
OS/390 uses an application's display name to construct the path
and file names of the application's exported ear file during the
prepare for cold start operation. This file is subsequently
copied to the export directory using the standard Unix cp (copy)
command.  This command cannot handle path or file names
containing blanks unless those names are enclosed in quotation
marks.  The code was changed accordingly.
