Table 8 Known Issues in Migration and Upgrade

Problem ID 

Description 

6407877 

Incorrect migration occurs while migrating from Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 if the installed.pkg file is not found.

In Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 migration, if the installed.pkg file is missing, Web Server incorrectly migrates the NSServlet entries in the magnus.conf file.

6490124 

6.x -> 7.0: Migrated scheduled events still points to 6.x paths in the server.xml file.

 

6502529 

6.1->7.0: Migration does not handle relative path set for search-collection-dir correctly.

During instance migration, specifying a relative path for the target path into which the search collections should be copied, results in the search collection directory being created with respect to the config-store. When the instance is instantiated, the indexes are created without properly migrating the search collections.

6502769 

6.x->7.0: Migration ignores any "document-root" NameTrans specified in the obj.conf file.

6498806 

On Windows, Web Server Admin Console does not appropriately warn users during migration.

Administration Server does not detect if the selected new configuration or the service name already exists on Windows and hence does not appropriately warn the users to select a different configuration name or suggest a different configuration name as default. 

6500509 

Web Server 7.0 migration tool is unable to successfully migrate from Web Server 6.1 if it has Root Certs installed in it.

6559918 

Unclear error message if CLI and Administration Server versions are incompatible.

While upgrading Web Server 7.0 installation to Web Server 7.0 Update 2 , make sure that the entire setup CLI, Administration Server and all the Administration Nodes are also upgraded to Web Server 7.0 Update 2. This is because, Web Server 7.0 administration interfaces will not work correctly with Web Server 7.0 Update 2 administration interfaces. 

6595795 

The Admin console does not add the required functions in the obj.conf file for a migrated instance.

When a JVM disabled Web Server 6.0 instance is migrated to Web Server 7.0 and when the migrated instance is enabled with the JVM option using the Admin console, the process does not add the following necessary lines in obj.conf file.

NameTrans fn="ntrans-j2ee" name="j2ee"
PathCheck fn="find-index-j2ee"
ObjectType fn="type-j2ee"
Error fn="error-j2ee"

On Windows, server fails to start after upgrading from Web Server 7 that is part of the Java ES 5 release to Web Server 7.0 Update 2 release using the patch.

Workaround

On Windows, to upgrade the Web Server that is part of Java ES 5 or Java ES 5 Update 1 release to Web Server 7.0 Update 2 release, ensure the following security patches are installed on the system. 

  • 125923-05 or later

  • NSS_NSPR_JSS 3.11.8

  • NSPR 4.6.8

  • NSS 3.11.8

  • JSS 4.2.5

Security patch 121656-16 is a mandatory perquisite for Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 2 Linux patch on Java ES 5/U1. However, the security patch exhibits cyclic dependency, hence making it impossible to apply any of the patches. 

Workaround

In order to avoid this scenario, use the --force option. For example: 

rpm -F --force <list of rpms to be applied>
