APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an ArePrimaryKeysEqual exception occurs during
  WASPostUpgrade it is usually an obscure configuration setting
  which is not widely used which does not have a "name" or "id"
  attribute.  I reviewed the config doc and the "IconType"
  setting does not have a "name" or and "id" attribute, I then
  looked at the migration code and it did not contain a method
  for handling the "IconType" setting
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server WASPostUpgrade Tool                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An ArePrimaryKeysEqual Exception is     *
  *                      thrown when the DeploymentDescriptor    *
  *                      for an Application contains an          *
  *                      IconType entry.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Document Processing code for application deployment
  descriptors is missing the ArePrimaryKeysEqual comparison
  method.  This is causing the migration to exit prematurely.
  

Problem conclusion

• Add the missing method to the Application Deployment
  Descriptor document processor in the WASPostUpgrade code.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.15 and 9.0.0.10.  Please refer to the
  Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• Remove IconType field from the applicaiton's deployment
  descriptor failing the migration.  Add it back in after the
  migration completes.
