Upgrade from Insight 1.0.1.1 to 1.1.1.2 - Framework Manager projects migration issues

 Hi,
I have upgraded Insight from 1.0.1.1 to 1.1.1.2 and able to access the reports and all tools.
As part of Migration IBM suggests to migrate Framework manager projects also using MigrateFM batch script.
I am getting a java null pointer exception when I am trying this. It doesn't log anything in migratefm.log file.

Platform: Windows 2008 64 bit.

Command running: 
E:\IBM\RRDIDevTools\migration\1.1.1.2\fm>
migrateFM.bat -cpf "E:\IBM\RRDI\framemgr\AESS RTC Live\AESS RTC Live.cpf" -riInstallDir "E:\IBM\RRDI" -version v1.0.1.1 -conflict skip -type dw -noMigrate

Error: 
java.lang.NullPointerException

I recommend for an issue like this that you actually open a support ticket and upload any logs that you have.

 Thanks Rosa. I have opened a support ticket with IBM on this. Will post the answer once resolved.

Jaffar,

Can you give me details about your migration? Has the DW been migrated to 1.1.1.2 before FM migration? Did you customize your FM model in 1.0.1.1?

 Yes the DW was migrated with -modifyview option. FM model is actually based on the DataMart database from one of the CLM database called CCM. CLM and Insight are not integrated using DW in our case. Inshort we are not accessing any data from datawarehouse for reporting.

Hi There, Did you get an answer for this as I am upgrading to Insight 1.1.1.4 and I am getting the same error. It would be nice to know how to get passed this.

Hello Andrew,

in the original case of this post we found that the code was checking for a namespace called "Physical Metadata" and throws an NPE when it does not exist.
Creating an empty namespace in the model called "Physical Metadata", the migration would run to completion but does nothing because the model was entirely customized.

The conclusion is that if the model is fully customized there's no need to migrate it.

Best Regards,

Francesco Chiossi
