Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V7.0                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WC_ADMIN_HOST* endpoints are        *
  *                      missing from the serverindex.xml        *
  *                      after running the                       *
  *                      convertScriptCompatibility tool.        *
  *                      This is causing issues for syncNode     *
  *                      and other commands because the          *
  *                      transport chain is incorrect.           *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If the old transport config model has not been updated due to a
  past migration and you are migrating that profile forward again
  then the convertScriptCompatibility tool will mistakingly
  remove the WC_ADMIN* endpoints.  Thus causing the communication
  problems for the server.
  

Problem conclusion

• A previous fix did not take into account the possibility
  that the old transport model was migrated from an older release
  into a newer release configuration, which resulted in the
  WC_ADMIN* endpoints being removed when migrating forward a
  second time.  An additional check was added for the above
  condition and these endpoints will not be removed during
  migration or when running the convertScriptCompatibility tool.
  The converScriptCompatibility tool cause the old transport
  config to be update to the channel architecture.
