APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The issue was during migration from WAS V6.1 to WAS V7. Customer had the following variables defined at cell scope: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_NATIVEPATH=/usr/lpp/DB2/lib" The above variable did not exist at any lower level (node or server). During migration, the cell scope setting was properly carried over, but also added the same variable at each node scope and set it to null: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_NATIVEPATH=<blank> Since node scope setting takes precedence, the applications connection to DB2 were broken.
Local fix
remove node scope definition for DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_NATIVEPATH
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0 and V8.0 Migration tools with * * blank variables scoping issues * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Default profile template provides * * blank values variables which override * * migrated non-blank variables at higher * * scope. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Customer may have cleaned up the node or server level blank variables in the older release and set these variables at a higher scope. Once migrated the Default profile template resets these blank variables at the node and server levels. These defaul blank variables override the values set at the higher scope.
Problem conclusion
This fix tests for the existance of blank level variables in the new profile and if the corresponding variable is not also set to blank at the same scope in the old profile being migrated the default blank variables are removed from the new profile. If the blank variable is set and overrides the same variable at a higher scope a Warning is issued. APAR PM50326 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 7.0.0.23 and 8.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server.
