Installing WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.1 into WebSphere Application Server 7.0 Fails with WASX7017E, CWPMC0006E Errors.

 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When attempting to install WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.1 into an existing WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0, the Portal installer gets about 5 minutes into the install and fails with WASX7017E and "CWPMC0006E: IPC_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS not found" errors.
 
Symptom
Installation fails.

LocalizeTraceArchive5.txt contains the following error message:
[wsadmin] WASX7017E: Exception received while running file ".../wp_profile/ConfigEngine/config/work/was/modifyPortsWithFile.jacl"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.cmdframework.CommandException: CWPMC0006E: The endpoint with name 'IPC_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS' is not found.

 
Cause
This error happens when the Portal installer tries to use the wrong CD or part.

During installation, a default backup WAS profile configured for Portal 6.1.0.1 is copied from the CDs or install directories. CD 5 contains a WAS 6.1 profile, while CD 5-A contains a WAS 7.0 profile. WAS 7.0 profiles have a new port that does not exist in WAS 6.1 profiles: the IPC_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS port.

The CWPMC0006E error message means that the installation is failing because it is looking for a WAS 7.0 port that does not exist in a WAS 6.1 profile; that is, it is looking for the files found in CD 5-A but getting the files found in CD 5.

 
Resolving the problem
If you are installing Portal with the default WAS 6.1, or installing to an existing WAS 6.1, the installer will require CD 5 (C1U32ML), which contains a profile for installations to WAS 6.1. If you are installing to an existing WAS 7.0, the installer will need to use CD 5-A (C1U36ML), which contains a WAS 7.0 profile.
