Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Migration Tooling * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migration Tooling does not handle * * profiles created with Sym links. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Migration tooling does not process or collect files which are referenced in config files. These files are either ignored or they are collected into a part of the backup directory where they do not belong. This also affects key and trust store files. Which in turn may cause connection problems with Fed nodes being migrated.
Problem conclusion
Given that manageprofiles allows the WAS_INSTALL_ROOT and the USER_INSTALL_ROOT variables to be set to a symlink, the migration code should take this situation into account as it does its processing. Particularily when collecting files referenced in the config files and especially for remote migrations. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack v9.0.5.3 and v8.5.5.17.
