Error description

• Abstract:
  Attempts to migrate from IBM Rational Asset Manager (RAM)
  7.5.1.1 to 7.5.2 fail at the Rational Team concert concert step
  with the error java.lang.ClassCastException:
  java.math.BigDecimal incompatible with java.lang.Integer
  appearing the systemout.log of IBM WebSphere Application Server.
  
  Error Description:
  The migration process stalls (web page goes blank, no progress
  is possible) when trying to migrate the RAM repository using the
  RAM setup application, after the upgrade is complete.
  
  The following errors are seen in the SystemOut.log

  com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp logServletError SRVE0293E:

       javax.faces.FacesException:
  #{pc_ErrorMigrate.doMigrate}: java.lang.ClassCastException:
  java.math.BigDecimal incompatible with java.lang.Integer
  
  The migration failure is due to the jazz.net defect:
  
  RATLC02516435 ER getObject function return BigDecimal type
  instead of Integer when using Orcacle
