Error description

Customer is using nonstandard install and profile folders for
their WebSphere Application Server V6.1 installation and their
WebSphere Application Server V8.0 installations. Currently the
customer has WebSphere Application Server V6.1 at /WAS61 for
both proddata and userdata and WebSphere Application Server
V8.0 at /WAS80 as well. Customer is trying to run their
WASPreUpgrade command and is failing with message:


MIGR0104E: You must specify the currently installed
Application Server directory name.

Local fix

Installed iFix:

8.0.0.4-WS-WAS-IF59540v2.zip

Added environment variable PASE_QIBM_IFS_OPEN_MAX with max
files of 10,000.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.0 and V8.5 migration              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the install directories aren't     *
*                      /QIBM/ProdData/... and /QIBM/UserData   *
*                      on IBM i, migration code cannot start   *
*                      WASPreUpgrade.                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The migration code cannot calculate the install root from the
command line options for WASPreUpgrade when WebSphere
Application Server is installed to something other than
/QIBM/ProdData and UserData.

Problem conclusion

The WASPreUpgrade script is modified to set an environment
variable pointing to the install root.  The property is
com.ibm.ws.migration.iseries.installRoot.  This will override
the current mechanism that the code uses to get to the install
root from the provided user root on the command line for
WASPreUpgrade.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.0. Please refer to the
