APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the WASPostUpgrade moves the application from the backup
  directory to the target profile's installableApps folder, it
  does not fully expand all archives in the ear file.
  During migration WASPostUpgrade processing fails with messages
  similar to:
  MIGR0215W: The migration function cannot copy the file and open
  the destination file
  /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/dmgr/installableApps/My_applic
  ation.
  ear/xyzService.war/WEB-INF/lib/spring-web-3.2.4.RELEASE.jar/META
  -
  INF/web-fragment.xml.
  MIGR0215W: The migration function cannot copy the file and open
  the destination file
  /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/dmgr/installableApps/abc_
  application.ear/abc123-ejb-8.0.4.17.jar/META-INF/ibm-ejb-
  jar-bnd.xmi.
  java.io.IOException
  MIGR0286E: The migration failed to complete.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Migration Tools who are migrating    *
  *                  an application with a web-fragment.xml      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WASPostUpgrade fails when it cannot     *
  *                      copy a web-fragment.xml file.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Migration does not expand archives in the application .ear
  file. Later when migration tries to copy the web-fragment.xml
  file, it is still inside the archive and therefore cannot be
  found and an exception is thrown causing WASPostUpgrade to
  fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• Adjusted the WASPostUpgrade code to not recurse into
  directories belonging to archives in .war modules, as these
  were not expanded to make their files visible.  The
  web-fragment.xml file will be extracted later when the
  application is deployed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
