While attempting to migrate the WebSphere Application Server
from v6.1 to v7.0 you may receive an error from
'updateARSconfig'.

During migration, the three required migration scripts
are run (manageprofiles, WASPreUpgrade, WASPostUpgrade).

The following error may occur while running WASPostUpgrade,
with updateARSconfig throwing the following execption:

 Invoker       >  processLine Entry
 WASX7015E: Exception running command: ""\$AdminTask";
exception information:
LoggerImpl    1   WASX7015E: Exception running
command: ""\$AdminTask"; exception information:
 Invoker       <  processLine Exit
 WASX7015E: Exception running command: ""\$AdminTask";
exception information:
Invoker       >  processLine Entry
 com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while eval'ing Jacl expression:
 LoggerImpl    1    com.ibm.bsf.BSFException:
error while eval'ing Jacl expression:
 Invoker       <  processLine Exit
 com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while eval'ing Jacl expression:

The exception happens during the installation of the Async
Response Servlet (ARS), a required part of the migration
which is needed for JAX-WS applications.

Problem conclusion

The exception occurs on Unix because the '$' character, which
is special on Unix, is not being handled correctly. This is
happening while running the wsadmin command. A correction was
made to properly handle the '$' character for Unix based
processing.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
