  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WASPostUpgrade fails because the        *
  *                      wrong cell name is used to locate       *
  *                      config files.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The wrong cell name is being read from the setupCmdLine.sh.bak
  file which is found in the profile's bin directory under the
  migration backup location.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was using a string compare of startsWith instead of
  equals.  And in this case the *.bak file was the first to
  match and therefore scanned for the cell name setting, which
  of course was invalid.  Code has been changed to find the
  correct setupCmdLine.sh file.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
