APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Due to changes in the method in which migration processes file
  paths, paths with a space are not being handled correctly,
  causing migration to fail when locating certain files within
  the directory with a space in its name.
  
  You may see error like the following in the WASPreUpgrade trace
  log file:
  
  com.ibm.wsspi.migration.document.exceptions.NotFoundException:
  bin

  com.ibm.ws.migration.document.BasicDocumentCollection.getChild(B
  asicDocumentCollection.java:578)

  ****************************************************************
  While attempting to migrate a profile to V9.0 that has a space
  somewhere in its path, the WASPreUpgrade command fails after
  printing the word bin. In the log file, the error appears as:
  MIGR0302I: The existing files are being saved.
  bin
  com.ibm.wsspi.migration.document.exceptions.NotFoundException:
  bin
  at
  com.ibm.ws.migration.document.BasicDocumentCollection.getChild(B
  asicDocumentCollection.java:578)
  at
  com.ibm.ws.migration.utility.ProfileImpl.initializeOwningValues(
  ProfileImpl.java:319)
  ...
  This occurs because the space(s) in the path are
  percent-encoded by WASPreUpgrade erroneously, causing it to
  look in the wrong locations for the necessary files to
  complete migration.
  

Problem conclusion

• Migration code was adjusted to preserve the character in the
  paths, so that the correct paths are used to look for the
  files, even when the path includes a space.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
