migrating application from weblogic5.1 to weblogic8.1

[Suhaasi Karnik]

Hi,
I've downloaded the banking application tutorial from the bea site. I am trying to migrate it from weblogic5.1 to weblogic8.1. When i use the administrative console of WLS8.1 to convert weblogic.properties file, i get the following exception:
Error converting server data: javax.management.InvalidAttributeValueException: [Management:141188]An attempt was made to set the attribute Machine on the mbean examples:Name=examplesServer,Type=Server to the unresolved object name examples:Name=examplesServer,Type=UnixMachine.
Can somebody tell me what is the problem?
Thanx,
Suhaasi

I am not very sure if I got your problem but from what I can guess. looks like you have created a server named unix server and trying to deploy ur application, try starting the unix server first and then deploy, another point to note is that theres no need to create a new server in weblogic unless u are making a cluster.

Hey,
Thanx for ur reply.
However, I have reinstalled the server and it still gives me an exception, this time its:
Error converting server data: weblogic.management.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error while converting EJB property : weblogic.ejb.deploy = d:/weblogic/migrationserver/app_banking.jar - with nested exception:
[javax.management.InvalidAttributeValueException: [Management:141188]An attempt was made to set the attribute Application on the mbean mydomain:Application=app_banking,Name=app_banking,Type=EJBComponent to the unresolved object name mydomain:Name=app_banking,Type=Application.]

Thanx,
Suhaasi

I am also facing same problems when trying to convert weblogic.properties file to convert into config.xml.

Error :: Error converting server data: weblogic.management.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error while converting EJB property : weblogic.ejb.deploy = /home/sgsprod/weblogic/production/ejbclasses/AccountEntityBeanDD.ser, - with nested exception:
[javax.management.InvalidAttributeValueException: [Management:141188]An attempt was made to set the attribute Application on the mbean MyDomain:Application=AccountEntityBeanDD,Name=AccountEntityBeanDD,Type=EJBComponent to the unresolved object name MyDomain:Name=AccountEntityBeanDD,Type=Application.]

Please help me out.
