    These two files exist in every server whether it uses WebSphere
    Virtual Enterprise/Intelligent Management features or not. They
    do
    not require migration processing except to copy them over from
    the
    source server. However, migration did not process these files
    from
    the source profile, nor did it lay down new versions from the
    templates.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Migration was adjusted to migrate the two files from the source
    profile.
    
    The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
    9.0.5.14 and 8.5.5.23. For more information, see 'Recommended
    Updates for  WebSphere Application Server':
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
    

Temporary fix

  • Manually copy the files from the backup directory to the
    destination.
