Troubleshooting: Application not supported on node error

You attempt to migrate an application from a previous version of WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere Commerce Version 7 in a clustered environment, but you encounter an error during application configuration. The error states that application type is not supported on one federated node. As a result of the error, the migration process cannot continue.

Problem

The error occurs during application configuration, when the migrated application is being deployed to the server. You find an error message similar to the following example in the migration log.

The error states that the type J2EE application 50 is not supported on one federated node of WebSphere Commerce Version 6. The migrated application cannot be deployed successfully, because not all additional federated nodes can be migrated to WebSphere Commerce Version 7 from the previous version before the primary node is migrated.

Solution

Use one of the following solutions.

If you do not want to migrate all the additional nodes:
1. Redo deployment manager migration from the previous version of WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere Commerce Version 7.
2. After the deployment manager is migrated, remove the nodes that you do not want to migrate from the previous version of WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere Commerce Version 7.
  1. Open the administrative console of the migrated WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager in Version 7.
  2. Expand System Administration, then click Nodes.
  3. Select the additional nodes that you want to remove, then click Force Delete.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Synchronize changes with nodes to ensure that the deployment manager profile immediately synchronizes the configuration changes with the other nodes.
  6. Click Save and click OK.
3. Migrate the other nodes that you did not remove in the previous step.
4. Redo application migration for the primary node.
If you want to migrate all the additional nodes:
1. Redo deployment manager migration from the previous version of WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere Commerce Version 7.
2. Migrate all the additional nodes before you migrate the primary node.
3. Redo application migration for the primary node.
