Error description
Problem Description: When migrating running process instances using policy files on Unix systems, the xml validation will show success but will fail when attempting migrating the data. The temporary file location which stores the policy file is incorrect during the migration. Hence, causing a failure as the policy file cannot be read.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of process instance migration using * * BPM on AIX, UNIX or Linux. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When trying to migrate active process * * instances on AIX, UNIX or Linux, the * * validation of the Orphan Token Policy * * file will appear to be successful, * * but the migration will fail. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When performing an instance migration using an orphan token policy file, the policy is first uploaded and stored in the temporary file store, then consulted later during the actual instance migration process. If the file is deleted or otherwise unavailable at the time the instance migration procedure actually executes, the instance migration process will not be successful. This is usually acceptable because users generally upload the policy file and immediately perform a migration. On Windows, System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") always seems to return a trailing slash, whereas UNIX-like operating systems can sometimes return a path without the trailing file component separator (slash or backslash). The root cause of this APAR is improper construction of the path string (using concatenation instead of the Java File API) and poor error handling (if the policy file is not found, no error is reported or logged, but the migration will be skipped).
Problem conclusion
Code changes have been made to properly construct the file paths, as it should in a cross-platform manner. An interim fix is available on v8.0.1.1. The fix will be integrated into the next fix pack.
