  Investigate and better handle the long pathname issue during
  the WAS deployment on the distributed ETL server
  

Problem conclusion

• When copying files to a destination whose path length is
  longer than 260, the copy function will throw an exception.
  We will report a deploy failure when trying to copy to such
  a destination, rather than just ignore it and leave
  potential risk.
  

Temporary fix
