Resolving Problems with Shared Components During Side-by-Side Upgrade

If you have performed a side-by-side upgrade from Application Server 7.x with (MQ and HADB) to Application Server 8.2 EE, do not uninstall the older version — Application Server 7.x. The uninstall process removes shared components, such as JAF, JavaMail, and MQ libraries. The missing shared components will cause the Application Server 8.2 EE installation to malfunction. If you want to uninstall Application Server 7.x, remove SUNWas* packages that belong to Application Server 7.x by running the pkgrm command, and do not run the uninstall script. If you have already uninstalled Application Server 7.x using the uninstall script, copy the shared components manually by running the pkgadd command.
