Error description
During WASPostUpgrade the application fails to install on the target profile. Looking at the generated jython install script for the application, it is missing the module's target information. Looking at the trace file, it indicates that there is a malformed Deployment Descriptor for that module. Looking in the Deployment Descriptor, it seems to be OK, however, the generated *_merged.xml is malformed and cannot be validated against the schema. Here is an example of the exception: [10/10/12 12:00:13:058 GMT+08:00] 00000000 wtp 2 org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.impl.EJBJarFileI mpl getDeploymentDescriptor THROW org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.Deploy mentDescriptorLoadException: META-INF/ejb-jar.xml Stack trace of nested exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The 'no duplicates' constraint is violated at org.eclipse.emf.common.util.BasicEList.add(BasicEList.java:642) Here is the part of the ejb-jar_merged.xml causing the problem: ... <assembly-descriptor> <security-role> <role-name>twuser</role-name> </security-role> <method-permission> <role-name>twuser</role-name> <role-name>twuser</role-name> ... ##The above line is a duplicated due to annotation - and violates the schema.##

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 and V8.5 Configuration * * Migration tools * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some applications are failing to * * install as they are missing targeting * * information for one or more modules. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The generated *_merged.xml may contain malformed xml data. Thus the WASPostUpgrade command cannot retrieve the proper data to construct the application install jython script.
Problem conclusion
If the merged data contains malformed data, then we have WASpostUpgrade retry getting the information with the option to bypass the previously generated merged data. Although a bit of a performance hit, this retry allows WASPostUpgrade to obtain the information needed to generate the correct application install jython script. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.
