PM57859: ADD INSTRUCTIONS TO ZMMT ON USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT IN A MULTIPLE TCPIP STACK ENVIRONMENT

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Migration can fail if the environment is using a multiple TCPIP
stack, as migration will start on one stack and then fail if it
attempts to use an alternate stack.  The reason for the failure
in not always obvious from the migration log. Setting the
environment variable _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT will prevent this
failure. Adding a warning about this in the zMMT tool will alert
customers to this requirement.  It is included in the
InfoCenter in topic Migrating a z/OS federated node, but
customers may not see it during their planning.

Local fix

Add the following command to the BBOWMG3F jcl
 export _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT=<stack.name>

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Generated instructions from z/OS        *
*                      Migration Management Tool do not        *
*                      mention how to deal with multiple       *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Generated instructions from z/OS Migration Management Tool do
not include steps for specifying the TCP/IP stack needed when
the machine contains multiple stacks.

Problem conclusion

The generated instructions now include a step for how to
handle multiple TCP/IP stacks and how to access further
information in the information center.

APAR PM57859 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Fix Packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1 of WebSphere Application
Server.
