Hi Frex,
Maybe I am coming too late on this discussion. I would like to share
some inputs.
I work with Migrator since many years and all version against almost all
ARS servers.
Yes sometimes it's hard to make it running as we want (I mean as we
imagine to want),
but in my experience usually it's because we forgot something on the
Migrator configuration or in the sequence we want to use it.
In your case, hoping to help you, I suggest to check the following:
If you are migrating objects ->
- Migrate regular forms before joins.
- Migrate FLT and AL before respective Guides
- Check the Option to not migrate any DATA.
- etc...
I am quite sure you did check this.
If you are confident with the objects you are migrating, make sure to
disable all required objects on the Migrator Options (Migration/Required
Objects).
This will make faster and easier the migration...but you must secure the
source objects (make sure to have the right ones).
Make sure the source server is allowing unqualified search (permissions
for AL and forms are depending on this option in your server
configuration because it queries the Groups).
When migrating data:
Keep in mind the DATA model you want to change and make sure you
understand how the IDs are managed (it works in a similar way as AR Import).
Also Keep in mind that Migrator is doing a Merge, so all workflow
triggering on Merge may fire...so you will have a Filter Limitation...
Usually, you have to set the option to avoid workflow firing.
But I use to add a filter that bypasses all workflow (goto 9999).
After a migration, run a difference report to make sure nothing was
forgotten.
There are several things like that to double check,
but once this is done, Migrator is a powerfull tool and it works fine.
Additionally, it provides a detailed migration report which helps a lot
to understand what run wrong, writen in an ARS language.
Hope this helps.

Frex, I find it amazing that errors like these have existed in the
product for years, and have not been addressed. I like a lot of BMC's
applications, but this one needs a complete rearchitecture. Try
Panacea, or any of the other tools developed with this century's
technology.
