Closed as program error.
Error description
Migration is unable to resolve relative file paths correctly. For example, "libs/mylib.jar" would be resolved by the server runtime code as $USER_INSTALL_ROOT/libs/mylib.jar because the startServer script sets its current working directory to $USER_INSTALL_ROOT before starting the server. However. migration's current working directory would be what ever directory the code is called from. Migration should mimic the runtime behavior for non-absolute type paths.
Local fix
Copy library files manually.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Migration Tooling * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Library paths defined without a root * * path are not processed correctly. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The code is using the wrong root variable for relative paths. After talking with the runtime team it was determinied for libraries that the relative path for libraries is the USER_INSTALL_ROOT variable. Currently it is being set to the WAS_INSTALL_ROOT as that is the CWD for the WASPostUpgrade command.
Problem conclusion
Libraries defined without a root path should be resolved using the USER_INSTALL_ROOT path. This is consisitent with the runtime's processing of these relative paths. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.3.
