OBIEE 11g to 12c Export Failed with Error "SEVERE Migration action failed: replacement"

FaheemAshiq

Hi All,

We are doing migration of OBIEE 11g to 12c. To export 11g data and import in 12c, we are using the export utility provided in OBIEE 12c. We generated a jar file from OBIEE 12.2.1.4 and now trying to export 11.1.1.9 data using that.

Below command we are using to export:

java -jar bi-migration_utility.jar out $MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/ $DOMAIN_HOME/ $INSTANCE_HOME export11g.jar

However, getting below error in logs:

Start updateDriverDetails invoked <oracle.xdo.tools.upgrade.BIPUpgradeCommon updateDriverDetails>
