Error description

When migrating from WebSphere Application Server 6.1, the PMI
metrics logging option enableLog="false" is set to
enableLog="true" if the traceLevel= option is not "NONE"

Prior to migration , the primr.xmlfile for the 6.1 version and
the version being migrated to show similar entry to:

  <pmirm:PMIRequestMetrics xmi:id="PMIRequestMetrics_1"
dynamicEnable="true" enable="false" enableARM="false"
traceLevel="HOPS" enableLog="false" armType="ARM40"
armTransactionFactory="" armCallback="">
...

After migration, the post migration pmirm.xml contains:

  <pmirm:PMIRequestMetrics xmi:id="PMIRequestMetrics_1"
dynamicEnable="true" enable="false" enableARM="false"
traceLevel="HOPS" enableLog="true" armType="ARM40"
armTransactionFactory="" armCallback="">

Local fix

Manually modify the entry in the PMIRM.xml file to
enableLog="false"

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After running WASPostUpgrade            *
*                      Performance Monitoring Infrastructure   *
*                      (PMI) metrics logging becomes enabled   *

****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
After running WASPostUpgrade, the enableLog attribute of the
PMIRequestMetrics tag in pmirm.xml is set to true even though
the same attribute in the previous release is set to false.

Problem conclusion

We now make sure that upon migration if a value is set for
enableLog that it is honored and not replaced.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.8, and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
Recommended Updatespage for delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

Manually fix the enableLog value back to false if it was
previously set to false in the pmirm.xml file in the new
version of WebSphere Application Server.
