APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The client is going through the migration steps to
migrate their configuration from Websphere Application Server
version 6.1 to Version 7.0. After they migrate a node that
contains a cluster member the member shows these error
when it is started:
  WSVR0215W: Starting application, ManagementEJB, failed.  The
    application is not installed.
  WSVR0100W: An  error occurred initializing, ManagementEJB
     com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationWarning: No cluster
     target found for application, ManagementEJB
  WSVR0215W: Starting application, filetransferSecured, failed.
    The application is not installed.
  WSVR0100W: An error occurred initializing, filetransferSecured
    com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationWarning: No cluster target
    found for application, filetransferSecured
 -
This is because the systemapps.xml containied these entries. The
systemapps.xml on the migrated node was not updated from the
Version 6 mode.

Local fix

You can get rid of this messages by editting
Profile_Home/config/cells/cellname/nodes/nodename/systemapps.xml
and removing the entries for the applications that should not
be started.

*                      the systemapps.xml entries are not      *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When migrating Websphere Application Server version 6.1 to
Version 7.0, the systemapps.xml entries are not migrated.  If
there weren't any entries in the previous version and the
profile is migrated into a default profile the profile will
now start a systemapp in the new version.  If server1 is part
of a cluster in the old, it will be in the new as well and
the systemapps.xml entry will not be valid, causing an
application start error:

WSVR0215W: Starting application, ManagementEJB, failed.  The
application is not installed.
WSVR0100W: An  error occurred initializing, ManagementEJB
com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationWarning: No cluster
target found for application, ManagementEJB
WSVR0215W: Starting application, filetransferSecured, failed.
The application is not installed.
WSVR0100W: An error occurred initializing, filetransferSecured
com.ibm.ws.exception.ConfigurationWarning: No cluster target
found for application, filetransferSecured

Problem conclusion

Migration now handles the migration of systemapps.xml and it's
entries, with one exception.  Migration will proceed as
federation of a node does during federated node migration.
During federation, there are specific applications that remain
installed as a system app and are therefore in the
systemapps.xml file.  If nothing existed in the old
systemapps.xml, migration will still keep the systemapp that
is supposed to remain after federation in the new version.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
