APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Setting postUpGradeTrace=0 and preUpGradeTrace=0 should disable tracing, but it does not. The resulting WASPreUpgradeTrace and WASPostUpgradeTrace files are created as if full tracing was enabled.
Local fix
1. Run BBOWMPRO job first. It copies the bbomigrt2.sh from the read-only filesystem to the migration temp directory. This should be a copy of the file, not a symlink to the read-only filesystem. 2. Edit the lines in the bbomigrt2.sh script and replace traceparms=" -traceString *=all=off -traceFile ${postTraceFileName} " with traceparms=" -traceString *=all=disabled -tracefile ${postTraceFileName} " 3. Run BBOWMPRE and BBOWMPOS Replacing "off" with "disabled" will turn off tracing.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V9.0 Migration Tools for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migration jobs generate trace despite * * trace being set to 'Off' or '0' in * * response file * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The trace string provided to WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade when a value of 0 is specified for the 'preUpgradeTrace' or 'postUpgradeTrace' values of the EV dataset is incorrect. It specifies *=all=off when it should specify *=all=disabled.
Problem conclusion
Migration was adjusted to use the correct trace string for 'no trace.' The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.3. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
Manually patch bbomigrt2.sh to adjust the value of traceString to include '*=all=disabled' instead of '*=all=off'
