Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and V8.0 migrating a profile    *
*                  which include references to external        *
*                  library paths.                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WASPreUpgrade throws exception          *
*                      when collecting librariees referenced   *
*                      by the libraries.xml which are          *
*                      located outside the WAS_INSTALL or      *
*                      PROFILE paths.                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When migrating, the libraries.xml may have references to
artifacts outside of the WAS_INSTALL_ROOT or USER_INSTALL_ROOT
paths.  In addition, if the userid performing the migration
does not have permission to access these files, then the
WASPreUpgrade will fail. These outside artifacts should
only be accessed when doing a cross platform migration,
which on zOS is not supported.  However, they are being
accessed whether or not that option is provided.

Problem conclusion

Libray artifacts outside of the WAS_INSTALL_ROOT or
USER_INSTALL_ROOT location will not be accessed, unless the
-machineChange true option is specified on the WASPreUpgrade
command.

APAR PM51480 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.23 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0
and Fix Pack 8.0.0.3 of WebSphere Application Server V8.0.
