  During migration of WebSphere Portal 6.1 to WebSphere Portal
  8.0, upgrade-profile fails with NoClassDefFoundError exception
  on Solaris.
  Scenario:
  - install target system (WebSphere Portal 8.0)
  - delete profile
  - create new profile
  - perform WASPreUpgrade
  - perform WASPostUpgrade
  - perform upgradeConfigEngine
  - start upgrade-profile
  The problem was due to a missing reference to the Java endorsed
  directory in the shell script that launches admin listener.
  

Problem conclusion

• The shell script that launches the admin listener was modified
  to include the missing reference to Java endorsed directory.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.01.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates

  1. Find the following line
        -Dws.ext.dirs="$WAS_EXT_DIRS" \
  2. Add the following line after the line found in step 1
       -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$WAS_ENDORSED_DIRS" \
