JR48207: DURING BPM MIGRATION TARGET PATH CONTAINS DOUBLE BACKSLASHES

Download Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This problem happens in the BPM migration framework. In case
  that the installation path of source environment is prefix of
  installation path of target environment the target path will
  contain double backslashes. This path is then used by the
  migration routines and will cause wrongly created resources.
  
  The following example would result in double backshlash
  scenario.
  
  Source:
  
  D:\WebSphere\AppServer
  
  Target:
  
  D:\WebSphere\AppServerV8
  

Local fix

• If the target environment was installed in different path (not
  prefix), the problem of double backslash would not occur.

  ****************************************************************
  After migrating from WebSphere Business Monitor V7.0.0.4 to
  Business Monitor V8.0.1.1, the value of some WebSphere
  variables, such as WAS_HOME, contains double backslashes. As a
  result, the Cognos service cannot be started in the migrated
  environment. This problem happens only when the source
  installation path is a prefix of the target installation path,
  for example, C:\Monitor and C:\Monitor8011.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available that converts any double backslashes "\\"
  to a single forward slash "/" during migration.
