IJ01006: IN MIIGRATION MANAGER TOOL, THE CLASSIFICATIONS ARE NOT REPLICATED THE SAME WAY BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Miigration Manager tool, the classifications are not
  replicated the same way between environments.
  The issue is when migrating classifications from source
  environment to target environment.
  
  The classstructureid field is not replicated from source
  environment to target environment:
  
  It is essential to keep the same classstructureid between
  environments.
  
  The classstructureid is assigned by the target environment
  itself, no matter what the migration packet dictates.
  
  Let's say you  are working on two developments :
  
  1) The first day you begin with development 1:   You created a
  classification, and the system assigned the id 1001 to the
  classstructureid field.
  
  2) The second day you begin with development 2:  You created a
  classification, and the system assigned the id 1002 to the
  classstructureid field.
  
  Now, if you migrate classification 1002 first, the target
  system will
  assign 1001 to that classification.
  
  In other words, it does not matter what the source packet
  dictates, the
  target system will always assigns a classstructureid of its own.
  
  
  
  Please help us to solve this issue so classifications are
  replicated
  without differences between environments.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Steps to replicate the issue
  1- We are using our lab  environment to replicate the issue,
  for example :
  sccd1.lab.com is the source environment
  sccd2.lab.com is the target environment
  
  2- We have created random classifications (BE0200 and BE0201)
  in sccd1.lab.com:
  
  3- We are going to migrate only classifications BE0200 and
  BE0201. At this moment
  classifications BE0100 and BE0101 are not going to be migrated.
  
  4- Following we created the packages with the classifications
  we need to migrate and  we deployed the packets in the target
  environment sccd2.lab.com.
  
  5- Now We have  classifications BE0200 and BE0201 migrated to
  sccd2.lab.com.
  
  If   we  check  the  classifications in  the  database, We get
  the  following values  for  the
  classstructureid:
  At source environment sccd1.lab.com
  At target environment sccd2.lab.com
  The classtructureid value is different for the same
  classification between environments.
  It seems that the target system assigns a classtructureid value
  of its own.
  it does not follow what the packet dictates.
  The issue propagates to other objects.

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users who use the Migration Manager to migrate               *
  * classifications                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The classstructureid on the target system is always newly    *
  * generated via Migration Manager to migrate classification    *
  * data. It does not take the classstructureid on the source    *
  * system.                                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The classstructureid is always generated for Classstructure
  records.  This is the default behavior. For the Migration
  Manager to migrate the same classstructureid, a new property
  called mxe.dm.sameClassstructureid is introduced in maximo 7610.
  Out of box, the default is 0.
  
  User will need to turn the property value to 1 for the desired
  functionality.
  

Problem conclusion

• This is fixed in code with a system property
  mxe.dm.sameClassstructureid.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
