Error description

After migrating from WebSphere V6.1 to V7, when attempting to
access the admin console from a web browser, user gets this
error message:
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle /ibm/console/ has
not been defined.

Migration is incorrectly determining the application server's
name as the web server's name and uses those values to create
the new profile on installation.  This causes it to create a
profile with the web server's name to be used as the application
server.  When the migration occurs, it matches the names and
changes the app server back to a web server in the system files.
The admin console (isclite) and filetransfer apps are not
improperly mapped, but they do not get migrated.  Since they
were created to the incorrectly named server, that's where the
will remain.

Local fix

Remove the conflicting web server from the WebSphere AppServer
config from the level you are migrating from, and then rerun the
migration job.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The migration of IBM WebSphere          *
*                      Application Server identifies the web   *
*                      server name as the application server   *
*                      name.                                   *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Incorrect logic identifies the web server name as the
application server name.

Problem conclusion

Code was modified to remove the logic that unnecessarily
removes the application server name from the processing.

APAR PM42174 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level 7.0.0.21 and 8.0.0.2 of WebSphere
Application Server.
