Feature Pack 7 or later

Enabling features fails on Feature Pack 8 or later if you upgraded from Feature Pack 2 or 3

You cannot enable features after you upgraded to Feature Pack 8 or later.

Problem

If you had a clustered environment on Feature Pack 2 or 3 and you upgraded to Feature Pack 8 or later, you might encounter an error similar to the following message when you attempt to enable foundation:
WASX7017E: Exception received while running file 
"/apps/wc70/commerceserver/components/foundation/subcomponents/search/deploy/scripts/deploySearchApplication.jacl"; 
exception information: com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException: 
WASX7132E: Application install for /apps/wc70/commerceserver/instances/instance_name/temp/search/Search_wcs_rdev01.ear failed: 
see previous messages for details.
BUILD FAILED
The deploySearchApplication fails because the Solr Application server naming convention is different between feature packs.
