Error description
When migrating the DMGR fro 7.0 to 8.0 job BBOWDPRE, step PREUPGRD took a very long time to complete. This happened when there is a large wstemp directory. It appears as the job using CPU but no I/O appears in the same time frame.
Local fix
Cleanup of the /wstemp directory contents has been shown to improve the time needed for the PRUPGRD step to run all of its backup file processing.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 and V8.5 Migration tooling * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WASPreUpgrade takes too much time if * * the wstemp directory is large. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The isclite migration extension searches the entire wstemp directory for a few files. Many customers do not clean up this directory very often. Thus the long seach time where WASPreUpgrade seems to be hung.
Problem conclusion
Limit the depth when searching the wstemp directory to where the isclite prefs.xml files are located instead of recursively searching the whole wstemp directory. APAR PI34638 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs 8.5.5.6 and 8.0.0.11 of the WebSphere Application Server.
