APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Currently WASPreUpgrade requires the WAS install root and the
  name of a profile to collect. WebSphere to Bluemix Migrations
  will not have this information, but will have the user install
  root, which WASPreUpgrade can transform into what it needs to
  collect the old profile.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Need ability to provide the             *
  *                      USER_INSTALL_ROOT as the second         *
  *                      parameter to WASPostUpgrade.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  iSeries allows the second parameter to be specified as the
  USER_INSTALL_ROOT directory.  Provide this same capability for
  the distributed platforms.
  

Problem conclusion

• When specifying the second parameter as the USER_INSTALL_ROOT,
  we need to normalize the parameters to be the WAS_INSTALL_ROOT
  and the profile name for the -oldProfile parameter.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
