APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The following error occurs when migrating a federated node into
  a WebSphere traditional base version 9 install.

  re.models.config.customprocessexec.NamedProcessDef
  MIGR0272E:
  The migration function cannot complete the command.
  Caused by: j
  ava.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
  com.ibm.websphere.models.config
  .customprocessexec.NamedProcessDef cannot be found by

Local fix

• As a workaround, the customer can migrate the profile into a
  profile in an ND install instead of a base install.

  The following error occurs when migrating a federated node into
  a WebSphere traditional base version 9 install.
  com.ibm.websphe
  re.models.config.customprocessexec.NamedProcessDef
  MIGR0272E:
  The migration function cannot complete the command.
  Caused by: j
  ava.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
  com.ibm.websphere.models.config
  .customprocessexec.NamedProcessDef cannot be found by
  com.ibm.ws.migration_9.1.0
  This occurs because the profile is part of an ND cell, but is
  created in a WAS Base install. Migration is attempting to load
  some classes that are only present and used by WAS ND (in this
  case, WVE classes.) Since the .jar for these classes is not
  present, the error is thrown.
  The code this occurs in is only incidentally loading these
  classes, and does not actually depend on their existence to
  work.
  

Problem conclusion

• Migration was adjusted to expect the NoClassDefFoundError in
  the code causing it and handle it appropriately, allowing the
  migration process to continue.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.6. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for
