Unable to migrate from SLES 12.4 -> 12.5

SUSE Product Topics SLES Updates
1

We have as server that was upgraded from 11.4 to 12.4 a while ago using ISO images. When I try to migrate to 12.5 using zypper migration, I get an error, It seems like there is some remains of the 11.4 SDK product somewhere that makes it fail, but I can´t seem to find it. Anyone who knows where zypper migration finds the installed products ?
I have checked /etc/products.d and it looks correct, only 12.4 products there. I have removed the ISO repos from the first upgrade and registered against our SMT server, regular patching and package installations work.

Hi
Have a look down in /etc/zypp directory and sub directories repos.d would be a likely place, but worth a find and/or fgrep to see.

Turned out to be the SMT server, The server had registered the new SLES 12 products, but failed to remove sle11-sdk for some reason. Deleted the server from SMT and re registered , and now it works.
