For IBM i OS operating system

Migrating to WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 fails

During the migration of WebSphere Commerce Version 5.6.1 to WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0, you cannot migrate WebSphere Application Server because you have multiple versions of the 5.1 application server installed.

Problem

The error is encountered when the WebSphere Commerce migration script runs the waspostupgrade script in Qshell on IBM i. For example:
waspostupgrade /test/migrationdir -profileName testmig -portBlock 33400
The waspostupgrade command failed with the following error:
MIGR0345E - The migration backup directory is not compatible with this Application Server version.

Solution

The following example illustrates how to migrate from 5.1.x.
  1. Rename the /QIBM/Proddata/WebAS51/Base/properties/version/CLIENT.product file to xxCLIENT.productxx.
  2. If the /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS51/Base/properties/version/ND.product file exists, rename it to xxND.productxx.
  3. Restart the application migration from the beginning.
  4. If you are still using the 5.1.x product, rename the xxND.productxx file back to ND.product, and the xxCLIENT.productxx back to CLIENT.product.
