Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Migration GUI tools                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Target profile page does not indicate   *
  *                      when profiles were found, but are       *
  *                      incompatible with the source profile.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A profile exists in the target of the same type as the
  selected source profile to migrate from, but the GUI does not
  display this profile as an eligible target to migrate to.
  

Problem conclusion

• The GUI was removing from the list of available profiles any
  profiles in the target that were incompatible due to
  non-matching cell, node, or host names between the source and
  target profiles. It did this without indicating to the user
  that only compatible profiles would be listed. GUI has been
  changed to display a warning when profiles exist in the target
  of the same type as the source profile being migrated, but
  none of the profiles are compatible with the source profile.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
