Please suggest how can this be resolved?
Note : Zypper patch was run successfully prior to it and it shows “nothing to do” now.

Is your server registered and have network access to the SUSE Customer Center or local SMT/RMT/SUSE Manager server?

You can check the registration with SUSEConnnect --status-text

Yes, registration is okay. SUSEConnnect --status-text shows all as registered.
The server was previously SLES15 SP1. I was able to successfully upgrade to SP3. But SP3 to SP5 upgrade attempt using zypper migration gives the above error.

Thanks.
