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.
