Migration errors v55
During the migration process, the migration summary displays the progress of the migration. If an error occurs, the summary displays information about the error. The migration summary is also written to a log file.
On Linux, the default location for the log files is:
$HOME/.enterprisedb/migration-toolkit/logs
On Windows, the log files are saved to:
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.enterprisedb\migration-toolkit\logs
You can specify an alternative log file location with the -logdir <log_path>
option in Migration Toolkit.
Connection errors
Migration Toolkit uses information from the toolkit.properties file to connect to the source and target databases. Most of the connection errors that occur when using Migration Toolkit are related to the information specified in the toolkit.properties
file.
Invalid username/password
When I try to perform a migration from an Oracle database with Migration Toolkit, I get the following error:
To resolve this error, edit the toolkit.properties
file, specifying the name and password of a valid user with privileges to perform the migration in the SRC_DB_USER
and SRC_DB_PASSWORD
properties.
Connection rejected: FATAL: password
When I try to perform a migration with Migration Toolkit, I get the following error:
The user name or password specified in the toolkit.properties
file is not valid to use to connect to the Postgres database.
To resolve this error, edit the toolkit.properties
file, specifying the name and password of a valid user with privileges to perform the migration in the TARGET_DB_USER
and TARGET_DB_PASSWORD
properties.
Exception: ORA-28000: the account is locked
When I try to perform a migration from an Oracle database with Migration Toolkit, I get the following error message:
To resolve this error, you can either unlock the user account on the Oracle server or edit the toolkit.properties
file, specifying the name and password of a valid user with privileges to perform the migration in the SRC_DB_USER
and SRC_DB_PASSWORD
parameters.
Exception: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
When I try to perform a migration with Migration Toolkit, the migration fails and I get the error message:
Before using Migration Toolkit, you must download and install the appropriate JDBC driver for the database that you are migrating from. See Installing a JDBC driver for complete instructions.
I/O exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
When I try to perform a migration with Migration Toolkit, I get the following error:
The JDBC URL for the source database specified in the toolkit.properties
file contains invalid connection properties.
To resolve this error, edit the toolkit.properties file, specifying valid connection information for the source database in the SRC_DB_URL
property. The SRC_DB_URL
value is database specific. See Building the toolkit-properties file for detailed information for your source database type.
Exception: The URL specified for the “target” database is invalid
When I try to perform a migration with Migration Toolkit, I get the following error:
The JDBC URL for the target database (EDB Postgres Advanced Server) specified in the toolkit.properties
file contains invalid connection properties.
To resolve this error, edit the toolkit.properties
file, specifying valid connection information for the target database in the TARGET_DB_URL
property. For information about forming a JDBC URL for EDB Postgres Advanced Server, see Defining an EDB Postgres Advanced Server URL.
Migration errors
The following errors can occur after Migration Toolkit has successfully connected to the target and source database servers.
ERROR: Extra data after last expected column
When migrating a table online, I get the error message:
This error occurs when the data in a column in table_name
includes the delimiter character. To correct this error, change the delimiter character to a character not found in the table contents.
Note
In this example, the pipe character (|) occurs in the text,LOS|ANGELES
, intended for insertion into the last column, and the Migration Toolkit is run using the -copyDelimiter '|'
option, which results in the error.
Error loading data into table: TABLE_NAME
When performing a data-only migration, I get the following error:
You must create a table to receive the data in the target database before you can migrate the data. Verify that a table with a name of TABLE_NAME exists in the target database. Create the table if necessary, and retry the data migration.
Error creating constraint CONS_NAME_FK
When I perform a table migration that includes indexes and constraints, I get the following error message:
The table you're migrating includes a foreign key constraint on a table that doesn't exist in the target database. Migration Toolkit creates the table, omitting the foreign key constraint.
You can avoid generating the error message by including the -skipFKConst
option in the Migration Toolkit command.
Error Loading Data into Table
I've already migrated the table definition; when I try to migrate the data into the table, I get an error:
The table definition in the target database doesn't match the migrated data. If you altered the target or source table, confirm that the table definition and the data are compatible.
ERROR: value too long for type
I've already migrated the table definition. When I try to migrate the data into the table, I get the following error:
A column in the target database is not large enough to receive the migrated data. This problem can occur if the table definition is altered after migration. The column name (in this example, location_id) is identified in the line that begins with Where:
.
Where: COPY departments, line 1, column location_id: "1700"
To correct the problem, adjust the column size and retry the migration.
ERROR: Exception in thread:OutOfMemoryError
When migrating from a MySQL database, I encounter the following error:
By default, the MySQL JDBC driver fetches all of the rows in a table into Migration Toolkit in a single network round trip. This behavior can easily exceed available memory for large tables.
To correct the problem, specify -fetchSize 1
as a command-line argument when you retry the migration.
