APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A customer migrating from WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.1 to 8.5 encountered a hang in the PREUPGRD step of job BBOWDPRE. The customer expects the BBOWDPRE job to run to completion without hanging.
Local fix
Currently, the customer is running the BBOWMG3D job, which is a single job that runs all the migration steps. The alternative is to break down the BBOWMG3D job into separate processes. BBOWMG3D may be split into 3 main steps consisting of: BBOWDPRO BBOWDPRE BBOWDPOS The Deployment Manager should be stopped - before running the BBOWDPRE job and started back up again - before running the BBOWDPOS job.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * V8.5 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: During the migration of a Deployment * * Manager, the BBOWDPRE job appears to * * hang. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The BBOWDPRE job would hang if the Deployment Manager was running when the job was started. A certificate exchange error might show up in the logs.
Problem conclusion
A change was required in PreUpgrade step that requires the Deployment Manager to be stopped and started again. If administrative security was enabled, this information was needed to stop the Deployment Manager. The change to pass the information on z/OS was not completed properly. APAR PM82458 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Pack 8.5.5 of WebSphere Application Server V8.5.
