  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.5 that use Virtualization         *
  *                  Enterprise.                                 *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the migration                      *
  *                      ConverScriptCompatibility tool is       *
  *                      run, a NoSuchMethodException is         *
  *                      encountered.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When ForeignServer's are used as part of the Virtualization
  Enterprise framework and the ConvertScriptCompatibility tool
  is used, the config model does not have access to these
  ForeignServer's, so a NoSuchMethodException is encountered
  when ForeignServer processing begins.
  

Problem conclusion

• The ConvertScriptCompatibility tool does not do any processing
  that affects ForeignServers, so these servers are bypassed
  from the processing in the tool.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
