BES5.2 to BES6.5 migration problems

[Armins]

Hi!

I have a problem migrating BES5.2 partition to BES6.5. When I try to run migrate tool (with or without GUI) I get error:

bash-2.05$ ./migrate -Dmigration.gui.disabled=true -Dbes6.root=/opt/Borland/BDP/ -Dbes521.root=/opt/BES/ -Dbes521.server.name=test
Warning: Cannot convert string "-monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

I've tried different ways to fix this problem, but no luck so far. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
A.

That is a problem you would likely have to take up with Borland
Support. Personally, I've never used the migration tool and I don't
recommend it to my clients, typically because it's easier in the long
term to document the configuration properly for 6.5 as opposed to
"here's the documentation for 5.2, then run the migration tool".

It is neccessary to migrate existing 5.2 partition to 6.5 and the migration tool seemed to be the fastest way (but I guess it's not). Is there any alternatives?

Thanks,

The error message you are seeing indicates that it can't find the main
migration class. This class is stored in migrate.jar in the lib
sub-directory of the BES installation. Please verify that the JAR is
there. Also, make sure that the migration tool you downloaded was
properly installed in the BES directory and not separately somewhere
else.
