New AEM6 instance and segmentstore from another instance

[boser87]

Hi guys,

we are trying to setup a new environment with a new AEM6 instance. The goal is to load test it with a comparable size of content wrt to the production environment. To do so, we want to move the production segment store (crx-quickstart/repository folder) into the crx-quickstart folder of the new AEM installation. We have a snapshot of the crx-quickstart folder of the production environment to use. Is this possible? Are there any particular procedures to overcome any repository issues? We already tried this once, and after we moved the old segment store inside the new AEM deployment, we had many SegmentNotFoundException and AEM6 was not working:

05.11.2015 19:21:15.342 *ERROR* [FelixDispatchQueue] com.day.cq.cq-xssprotection FrameworkEvent ERROR (org.osgi.framework.ServiceException: Service factory returned null.)
org.osgi.framework.ServiceException: Service factory returned null.

Thank you.

The new environment has Java 8 + Weblogic 11c + AEM6 (new AEM deployment).

The old environment runs on Java 8 + Weblogic 11c + AEM6+SP2 (existing AEM deployment).

What we are trying to do is: moving the whole repository (crx-quickstart/repository folder) of the old environment on the new AEM6 installation in the new environment.
