  statements, this causes environment variables which are set
  via a call to setupCmdline.bat, to be retained by the
  command shell.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of        *
  *                 migration.bat                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migration.bat is missing @setlocal and  *
  *                      @endlocal                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The migration.bat file is missing a @setlocal at the beginning
  and a @endlocal at the end. Without these, when migration.bat
  calls setupcmdline.bat, setupcmdline.bat updates some
  DOS environment variables. When migration.bat exists, these
  varaiables remain set, causing potential issues if the same
  command shell is used for other purposes. Having @setlocal
  and @endlocal in migration.bat would cause the changes to the
  environment variables to be only for the duration of
  migration.bat, not affecting future uses of the command shell.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem really can't be easily corrected via a fixpack
  since modification of a shipped .bat file is not allowed. The
  end user may have modified the .bat themselves, and if the
  fixpack were applied, those changes would be lost. See the
  circumvention section for alternatives.
