Defect 78859 -
  ReloadableClassLoader.getClassPath() does not check the paths
  variable before trying to use it.  A NullPointerException is
  thrown when com.ibm.ws390.trace.settings is set to
  com.ibm.*=all=enabled.

Defect 78860
  The BBOWCMIG job uses BPXBATCH to invoke a shell script
  called 'wcmigrate.sh'.  Script 'wcmigrate.sh' in turn invokes
  a REXX exec called 'wcmigrate.rexx'.  When wcmigrate.sh
  invokes wcmigrate.rexx, it passes two parameters.  The first
  parameter is either the name of a specific server to upgrade,
  or a '*' to indicate that all servers should be upgraded.  The
  script wcmigrate.sh contained an error in how it is handling
  the first parameter.  The second parameter, which is the name
  of the .ear file, is handled correctly.
Problem conclusion
Defect 78859 -
  ReloadableClassLoader.getClassPath() was modified to return
  null if the paths variable is null.

Defect 78860 -
Script 'wcmigrate.sh' was modified to enclose the shell variable
$systemname in double quotes when calling wcmigrate.rexx.  This
allows the '*' to be passed to the REXX exec asis without the
shell attempting to do any substitution of the '*'.

The following COMPIDs are affected by these changes:

5655A9800 R401 on z/OS and OS/390.

The code changes are stored in CMVC under defects
78859 and 78860.
