Troubleshooting migration

You might encounter problems while migrating from an older version of WebSphere® Application Server.

Before you begin

Supported configurations Supported configurations:

This article is about configuration migration, such as migrating deployment managers and federated nodes in a network deployment environment. The Application Migration Toolkit for WebSphere Application Server provides support for migrating applications from previous versions of WebSphere Application Server to the latest product version. For information about migrating applications, read more about the Application Migration Toolkit.

Procedure

[z/OS] If you encounter a problem when you are migrating from a previous version of Version 8.5, check your log files and other available information.

After migration, carefully review the job output and log files for errors.

Note: WebSphere Application Server provides an interactive problem control system (IPCS) verb exit to help you to format information from dumps of WebSphere Application Server processes. This verb exit was named CBDATA, which was an alias of the real module name, in Version 6.1 or above. In Version 8.5, that alias was removed. In Version 8.5 and later, therefore, you must use the real name of this verb exit, BBORDATA, instead of the alias.

If you migrate a node to Version 8.5 then discover that you need to revert to Version 6.1 or above, read Rolling back environments.

For current information available from IBM® Support on known problems and their resolution, read the IBM Support page. IBM Support also has documents that can save you time gathering information needed to resolve this problem. Before opening a PMR, read the IBM Support page.

New ports that are registered on a migrated Version 8.5 node agent include: WC_defaulthost, WC_defaulthost_secure, WC_adminhost, WC_adminhost_secure SIB_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS, SIB_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS ,SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS, SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS. These ports are not needed by the node agent, and can be safely deleted.

What to do next

If you did not find your problem listed, contact IBM support.
