IBM WCM 7 : Migrating from WCM 6.0 to 7 - Release Not Found

Error received during migration: Release not found

Error Example String:

/WebSphere/PortalServer/base/wp.db.impl/config/templates/updatedb/6.0.1.6-7.0.0.1/db2/release

 not found.

Solution:

The issue is caused by missing files for migration from 6.1.0.6 to  7.0.0.1. This happened, because fixpack 6.1.0.6 is newer and so not  known by current 7.0.0.1. An APAR is requested.

As there are no database changes in the affected area between 6.1.0.5  and 6.1.0.6, you could duplicate the files in

/base/wp.db.impl/config/templates/updatedb/6.1.0.5-7.0.0.1

to the new directory

/base/wp.db.impl/config/templates/updatedb/6.1.0.6-7.0.0.1

as a workaround.

This is obviously not ideal but will resolve your problem.

...so how does one end up with this problem.IBM recommends that clients/customers need to be at the most recent fix pack level and as 6.0.1.7 is the most latest users are running into problems.

I hope that this has helped.

Yours in WebSphere
