Error description
Virtual member manager (VMM) database repository contains an attribute that is not part of the schema, the get(*) [get all properties of a user] results in an Exception which is caused by a NullPointerException. Description: We have a setup where a 6.0 WebSphere Portal is migrated to 6.1. The 6.0 Portal has websphere member manager database repository => The 6.1 Portal has virtual member manager database repository. In 6.0, 'ou' is a valid attribute for a user. thus, the ou attribute is migrated, including the values, to the 6.1 virtual member manager database. However, the virtual member manager attribute schema says that 'ou' is only valid for OrganizationalUnit, not for users.

The problem has been fixed, no NullPointerException will be thrown. If you still wants to use these attributes for PersonAccount after migration, please add these attributes for PersonAccount according to WebSphere Portal documentation. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 6.1.0.21.
