Upgrading old versions of 6.x to API Gateway v7

Problem

Trying to upgrade very old 6.x API Gateway configurations to modern versions with upgradeconfig fails.

Resolution

It may be necessary to first upgrade the old configuration using 6.3.1's copy of upgradeconfig, following the steps in this KB to do so, but stopping the process once you have created the fed-upgraded folder with the 6.3.1 version of the configuration. After that, use the target version's upgradeconfig on the fed-upgraded folder to upgrade the configuration the rest of the way to your target 7.x version using the format upgradeconfig -u federated:file:///c:/location/of/fed-upgraded/configs.xml -o OUTPUT_DIR
