PK96556: MIGRATION FAILS WITH NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION DURING IMPORT

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Migration fails with a NullPointerException during import. The
    following exception can be seen in the migration log files:
    
    FINE: Updating item with UUID: 0a21c3804f9200db9cffbdda7e6b8225
    Sep 14, 2009 5:21:45 AM com.ibm.workplace.app.migration
    FINE: Logged out of the JCR
    Sep 14, 2009 5:21:45 AM com.ibm.workplace.app.migration
    SEVERE: Import system problem encountered; terminating; fix
    issue and resume
    Sep 14, 2009 5:21:45 AM com.ibm.workplace.app.migration
    FINE: Import system problem encountered; terminating; fix issue
    and resume
     java.lang.NullPointerException: null
     at
    com.ibm.workplace.wcm.app.migration.importer.data.DataImporter.p
    erformUpdates(DataImporter.java:716)
     ...
    

Local fix

  • This error can be worked around by removing the UUID from the
    update.index file and resuming migration.
    

Problem summary

  • Migration is trying to update an item that doesn't exist in the
    repository. This scenario occurs when a deleted item's UUID
    (which can be obtained from the exception in the logs) is
    specified in the update.index file in the migration summary
    folder. Deleted items should not be included in the update.index
    file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Migration no longer adds deleted item uuids to the update.index
    file.
