PK43578: INTERNAL ERROR BUILDING WORKSPACE MIGRATE RAD 6 TO RAD 7

6.1.1.3: WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 Fix Pack 3
Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer got error   "An internal error occurred during:
  Building workspace" when importing RAD 6 projects into RAD 7
  workspace.
  

Local fix

• The project lacked target servers. After setting target servers
  for the projects in RAD 6 the migration/import of the projects
  to RAD 7 should go fine.
  

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All Rational Application Developer v7.0      *
  *                 users migrating a workspace created by a     *
  *                 previous product release.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a workspace is created with a        *
  *                      previous product release and server     *
  *                      targeting is not applied to the         *
  *                      projects in the workspace, then when    *
  *                      this workspace is migrated to           *
  *                      Rational Application Developer v7.0 a   *
  *                      StackOverflowException will occur if    *
  *                      the Enterprise Application project      *
  *                      contains binary EJB or WAR files.       *

  The following StackOverflowException may occur during
  workspace migration to Rational Application Developer v7.0:
  
  !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during:
  "Building workspace".

Problem conclusion

• The StackOverflowException is occuring because there is no
  server target on the project causing an infinite recursive
  algorithm to be invoked when a binary EJB or WAR file is
  located in the Enterprise Application project.  A check has
  been added to ignore binary EJB and WAR files that reside in
  the Enterprise Application project.  The fix for this APAR is
  currently targeted for inclusion into Rational Application
  Developer fixpack 7.0.0.3.
