Hi All,
I am trying to migrate a CMA from R77.10 multi-domain manager to R80.10 but getting the following errors.
I managed to migrate 10 other CMAs from the same R77.10 box to R80.10 without any issue but there seems to be something wrong with this particular one.
The migrate logs shows the below, cannot find what the error code 4 refers to and if there is anything wrong with the database imported. I have raised it with CP TAC but it has been 2 days and they are yet to respond to me. Any help here would be much appreciated.

Did you use the correct migration tools from R80.10, get the latest migration tools copied and try the following commands
# mdsenv <domainServer_name>
Before you export the database, make sure that you remove the Global Policy from the source Domain Server.
# <full path to migrate command> migrate export [-l] <output file>
The optional –l flag includes closed log files and SmartLog data from the source Domain Server in the output archive
Also if the MDS/CMA has any VSX/VSs configured it will not be able to import so you have to do the following hack on the new R80.10 MDS
Create a file named AllowVsxMigration in the root directory of your MDS machine as follows:
touch /AllowVsxMigration
On the R80 Multi-Domain Server, run these API commands to create a new Domain and a new Domain Server (without starting it):
# mgmt_cli login <user_name> <password>
# mgmt_cli add domain name <my_domain_name> servers.ip-address <my_IP_address> servers.name <my_domain_server_name> servers.multi-domain-server <R80_multi-domain-server_Name> servers.skip-start-domain-server true
Copy the TGZ file from the R77.xx Domain Server to the R80 Multi-Domain Server.
When the new Domain is ready, import the exported database:
# cma_migrate <source_server> <new_server>/<FWDIR_path>
For example: # cma_migrate /tmp/myR77-30.tgz /opt/CPmds-r80/domains/my_dms/CPsuite-R80/fw1
Hi Demith,
This is exactly what I have done. As I mentioned, other CMA from same R77 box to R80.10 works without any issue.
sound something for the tac I'm afraid
