Error description
WASPreUpgrade in remote migration jar fails with the following error message even on the supported zLinux env. ? <extractedpath_ of_remotemigration_jar_with_includeJava>/bin/WASPreUpgrade.sh The system doesn't support running the 64 bit JDK provided by this createRemoteMigrJar file. You can rerun the createRemoteMigrJar script with -includeJava false option. WASPreUpgraded aborted......... Modify the line 43 in WASPreUpgrade from 64 to s390x

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Configuration Migration Tools on * * Linux on s390x * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WASPreUpgradeJar generated with Java * * included on s390x Linux fails to run * * claiming the operating system is not * * 64 bit. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Remote migration jars can be generated either to include a Java runtime (-includeJava true on WAS 9.0 or -skipJava false on WAS 8.5.5) which creates a jar that can only run on the same OS and architecture as the system used to generate it, or to include no Java runtime at all, which creates an OS agnostic jar capable of using a Java runtime on the target system. If Java is included, WASPreUpgrade within the jar runs several environment checks to ensure the OS and architecture match what it is expecting. Among these checks is to verify that the address width of the architecture is 64-bit. It does this on Linux by issuing ´uname -p´ and looking for a string with "64" in it. Both x86_64 and ppc64le match, but s390x doesn't despite being a 64 bit architecture.
Problem conclusion
The remote migration WASPreUpgrade script was updated to accept s390x as a 64 bit processor architecture. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.1 and 8.5.5.17. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
Adjust the WASPreUpgrade.sh script to replace the line reading "*64*) ;;" with "*s390x*) ;;".
