OBIA 12c: Errors during data store imports

Charles M

Hi -

We have done a fresh install of 11.1.1.10.3. We are attempting to import our customizations from OBIA 11.1.1.10.1, as per https://blogs.oracle.com/biapps/obia-12c:-odi-customizations-migration-utility. This is for the 'ODI12c Data Stores Migration Utility'.

The export seemed to work fine and generated the necessary flat files. Some of the imports succeeded, but many did not. I am getting the following errors for those that failed (not very much detail) to go on ...

java.lang.NullPointerException

Curious to know if anyone has gotten the same.

Hi User_QRFTM,

I never did get an answer to this. Possibly, there is something on MOS now (haven't checked in some time).

Ultimately, we decommissioned our OBIA instances last year ... in part because of the complexity of the 11g -> 12c migration.

Hopefully, there are some more answers out there now than before (assuming more folks have run into this scenario).

Regards,

Charles
