Issue

• We are hosting many applications in our jboss eap 6.2 managed domain.
  our plan is to migrate all applications to eap 6.4. Since it is not possible for us to migrate all applications at once and there is a support of different jboss eap version in one managed domain, we upgraded the domain controller to setup one new eap 6.4 server on a new host with a new profile+servergroup.
  so it should be possible to migrate one application after another from jboss eap 6.2 (host=host1, profile=test1, servergroup=g_test1) to the new jboss eap 6.4 (host=host2, profile=test2, servergroup=g_test2)

In the managed domain we created therefore (as mentioned above) a seperate profile and servergroup.
we set up the profile from scratch by using the template from the domain.xml of a blank 6.4 domain.xml.

on the old 6.2 host controller (host1) we only configured server1 of servergroup1/profile1.
on the new 6.4 host controller (host2) we only configured server2 of servergroup2/profile2.

If we now launch the old host controller hctest1, we get the following error and the server won't start:

- Is there any other solution, but changing the logging configuration in a 6.2 compatible way?
- How can we use new 6.4 features on our 6.4 server?
