PI07544: GENERATED APPLICATION MIGRATION SCRIPT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR CERTAIN CHARACTERS IN APPLICATION EDITION NAMES.

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

As a part of the migration process, a script
install_all_apps.jy is generated for the customer to run to
update their applications to the new WebSphere deployment.
This script passes various parameter to underlying wsadmin
calls, but these parameters do not take into account certain
character sequences in the edition name. As a result, the
script execution can fail.

Local fix

Manually edit the generated install_all_apps.jy script to add
in quotes around the edition values to properly escape sequence
them when calling wsadmin from inside the jython script.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server with Virtual Enterprise              *
*                  installed who are Migrating to the next     *
*                  release with editioned applications         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The VEUpgrade tool fails to install     *
*                      applications which have an edition      *
*                      name containing a '-' character.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise product is installed.
The product is being migrated to the next release, which
includes running VEUpgrade.
VEUpgrade calls the application install scripts which used
wsadmin to deploy the application.  The -edition parameter is
followed by the edition name.  If the edition name is not
quoted and contains a '-' character, wsadmin does not parse
the command correctly and fails.

Problem conclusion

The WASPostUpgrade tool which generates the application
install scripts has been updated to add quotes around the
edition name.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.5.5.2, 8.0.0.9, and 7.0.0.31.  Please refer to the
