Re: Re : Re : too many Migrator errors.
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 ). 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.

Re : too many Migrator errors.
Thanks for the pointers.. I am migrating the objects in .migrator file I am only including the objects that are different from those in the target server...I am migrating forms and menus together in the same file and the rest of the workflow in another... so migrator should really workout the sequence effortlessly, at least thats what I read in the migrator manual... Problem I am having is that some form or forms fail... I fix the error and remigrate the forms again, then I get errors for other forms which didnt fail before and forms that in no way are related to the previous failed ones... I also get this with workflow... so you would think its all perfect only to find that other objects are failing in subsequent migrations(s).. So I am looking for some other tool which is tried and tested and which works... as to migrator, at the moment I only see more problems than solutions.. Regards frex De : Avy Mann À : arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Envoyé le : Jeudi 1 mars 2012 17h19 Objet : Re: too many Migrator errors. ** Frex, I am not sure if this will help but: 1)You may want to first run a difference report between your migrator file and your destination server (assuming you are exporting to a migrator file as your first step-can mitigate mistakes). 2)You then would migrate each object type that shows up in your difference report one at a time. i.e. AL's together, AL guides together. 3)Make certain you migrate objects in the proper sequence (i.e. migrate ALs before AL Guides, supporting form for data driven menu or table field, etc.) This way, you can easily narrow down the failed object and hopefully the error message gives you enough to go on. I would also make certain all the options are set to your liking in migrator. Hope some of this helps.

Re: too many Migrator errors.
I’ve had many issues with Migrator 7.6.4 for workflow. The quick explanation is that it migrates your code, but randomly drops permissions on Active Links and I seem to recall it caused some problems with View and/or Vendor forms as well. Unfortunately there was no indication that there were problems until we started testing the migrated code. My opinion is to stick with DEF files since that is a much more reliable technique.

Re: too many Migrator errors.
Frex, I am not sure if this will help but: 1)You may want to first run a difference report between your migrator file and your destination server (assuming you are exporting to a migrator file as your first step-can mitigate mistakes). 2)You then would migrate each object type that shows up in your difference report one at a time. i.e. AL's together, AL guides together. 3)Make certain you migrate objects in the proper sequence (i.e. migrate ALs before AL Guides, supporting form for data driven menu or table field, etc.) This way, you can easily narrow down the failed object and hopefully the error message gives you enough to go on. I would also make certain all the options are set to your liking in migrator. Hope some of this helps.

It’s quite unbelievable that a migration fails for one form or some other object, then you fix it and try and migrate the same .migration file only for some other object to fail... so I am looking for something which will save me time and too much grief. I am still on 7.1 servers and tried various migrator versions (t.1 and above) but not luck Any thought will be very much appreciated.

Re: too many Migrator errors.
We had similar issues with the 7.1 version. Also had issues with the migrations being extremely slow. After we upgraded migrator to 7.5 all of our issues seemed to go away. You may also want to try deleting the migrator cache and rebuild it. That has solved issues we’ve seen in the past. FYI, we did use the 7.5 migrator against the 7.1 server with no issues.

Re: too many Migrator errors.
If it is data that you are migrating, then I suggest you look at RRR Chive. It’s free, it’s awesome, and most importantly, it works, even with huge migrations.
