  PROBLEM SUMMARY
  Although the instance migration result screen shows zeroes,
  instance migration might have completed successfully. After the
  process instances have been migrated, you see a
  NullPointerException in the SystemOut.log file while retrieving
  the migration results:

  This exception occurs when IBM BPM prepares the migration result
  after all the instances are migrated because the instance name
  field is  empty in IBM Process Designer.
  

Problem conclusion

• An interim fix is released on IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that handles the
  empty instance name properly and displays the results
  accurately.
