"Service factory returned null" after AEM migration from 6.0 to 6.3

Hello experts!

My log is full of "Service factory returned null" errors after migrating AEM 6.0 to 6.3 and updating Java 7 to Java 8.

Here some examples:

	8790	12.12.2017 16:54:24.321 ERROR [FelixDispatchQueue] com.day.cq.cq-replication FrameworkEvent ERROR (org.osgi.framework.ServiceException: Service factory returned null. (Component: com.day.cq.replication.impl.OutboxManagerImpl (506)))
	8959	12.12.2017 16:54:24.322 ERROR [FelixDispatchQueue] com.day.cq.cq-replication FrameworkEvent ERROR (org.osgi.framework.ServiceException: Service factory returned null. (Component: com.day.cq.replication.impl.transport.RepositoryTransportHandler (507)))

My DS bundle version is:

Version	2.1.0.B001
Bundle Location	launchpad:/WEB-INF/resources/install/9/org.apache.felix.scr-1.8.2.jar

Seems like a general problem. Do you have any ideas why?

Could you check if all the bundles are up properly?

Hey thanks for your reply.

Yes all bundles are running. I read here Apache Felix - Users - Service Factory returned null that updating the org.apache.felix.sc bundle resolved the issue. But mine is already up to date.

I just compared my bundles with the ones of a fresh AEM 6.3 installation and found the following differences:

Missing bundles:

com.adobe.cq.screens.com.adobe.cq.screens.sessions AEM Screens - Core (Session Support) 1.2.4
com.adobe.cq.core.wcm.components.core Adobe Experience Manager Core WCM Components Core Bundle 1.0.2

com.adobe.cq.sample.we.retail.core We.Retail - Core 2.0.2

Version mismatch:

I don't see anything suspicious here though.
