  switched to IIOP protocol.
  -
  An example of the change.
  From:
  InitialContext ic =
  getInitialContext("t3://" + host + ":" + port);
  to

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server WebLogic to WebSphere Application    *
  *                  Server Migration Tool.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WebSphere Application Migration     *
  *                      tool did not flag all WebLogic T3       *
  *                      protocol strings that were flagged in   *
  *                      Java, XML and properties files.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  The recommendation is to create an XML and  *
  *                  a properties file rule to handle scanning   *
  *                  for T3 properly.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  T3 is a propietary protocol that must be migrated when an
  application is moved to WebSphere Application Server. The
  application can use iiop: instead. If the migration toolkit
  flagged all cases, the migration process would be improved.
  

Problem conclusion

• The toolkit modified the existing Java T3 rule (Do not use the
  T3 protocol or weblogic-specific context factory) and added 2
  rules to scan XML and properties files.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit service release
  3.5.3 which will be available concurrently with the WebSphere
  8.5.5.1 fixpack.
  
  The service release will be made available on the migration
  toolkit's developerWorks site:
