Migrating 11.5 Files w/out 11.5 Installation

[Former Member]

Greetings all!

I have a scenario that I need some help with...

There is no 11.5 installation, only 12.0.

The <root>\Lighthammer\Xacute\Transactions folder has been created.

The <root>\Lighthammer\Illuminator\Templates folder has been created.

The only files exist under <root>\Lighthammer\Xacute\Transactions\TEST_AP where i have two 11.5 TRXs.

The migration tool when run picks up the folders fine in the Projects window.

When run i get the following erros:

Fri Apr 04 11:17:40 EDT 2008 Processing file C:\Lighthammer\Xacute\Transactions\TEST_AP\Batch\CreateObjectKey.trx

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas...?

Alin,

I guess i have solution for you

Three simple steps

1. Create a folder ... "C:\Lighthammer\Illuminator\Templates\Defaults"

2. Copy any one of the defaults file say "iGrid.xml",

3. Start your migration ... thats it

Hope this works ...

Good luck,

Ajay.

Did you enter a server url?

Yes sir i did!...

It's very strange because i would assume it would work regardless. However when i point it to a network path which has a full xMII 11.5 installation it works fine.

It doesn't seem to like just the folders standalone with a few files in them.

Alin:

In 11.5, there is a file located in the webapp (not in the \Lighthammer directory) named cmsconfig.xml which contains pathing and configuration information for a specific installation of xMII 11.5. Perhaps the fact that this file is missing is what is making the migration fail.

A.P.

Check the Migration guide on SMP, the migration tool does require elements other than just the bare bones locations for application content Templates, Transactions, Webroot.

It may not be the actual problem you're running into, but in order for a TRX to be corrected it has to actually open the file and fix the ReaderRoles/WriterRoles portion of the XML, and tries to address Project paths, etc.

To rule out any missing files just copy the whole Lighthammer directory - you don't need the actual s/w install, just additional pieces of configuration, etc. in the directory structure.
