Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server v8.0 who are using the Remote        *
  *                  version of the WasPreUpgrade command        *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The remote WASPreUpgrade command does   *
  *                      not support the -javaoption parameter.  *
  *                      It should allow the same options as     *
  *                      what is supported by the installed      *
  *                      version of the same command.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  This has no effect on the migration itself. However, the
  WASPreUpgrade commands help and options should be identical
  for both the remote and the installed versions of the command.
  

Problem conclusion

• The remote WASPreUpgrade command now supports the same options
  as the installed version of the command.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
