JR39415: An ISD import fails if the agent name specified in the data file is not configured on the target system.

IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ISD import command will fail to import a file exported
  from another system if the target system does not have same
  Agent (host) specified as what is stored in the export file.
  

Local fix

• 1) create an Agent with same name on the target system
  2) import application
  3) change Agent for the imported application on target system
  4) delete the temporary agent created in step # 1
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users importing runtime applications on one system that were
  exported from another system that had a different agent.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  1)  Export an application from the runtime section of ISD on one
  system (e.g. VMWIN08)
  2)  Import the application to the runtime section of a different
  system (e.g. VMWIN06)
  
  The import fails because the Agent configured on the system
  being exported from does not exist on the system being imported
  to.  This causes an AgentNotConfiguredException.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Install this patch.  Note that a bundled patch containing this
  and other fixes is being prepared.  When available, that will
  supersede this patch and must be installed instead.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The AgentNotConfiguredException that is thrown when an attempt
  is made to enable the provider on the missing agent is ignored
  on import (unless enableProvider was explicitly specified on
  the import).
  
  It should be noted that after the import is done, any attempt to
  enable the application will result in an exception until the
  agent name has been updated to a valid agent.
  

Temporary fix
